Tips for saving battery?

Hello,

I am a heavy guy (220lbs) and battery does not last long. Any tips on how to make it last longer?

Viagra?

Fly against the wind? With the wind?

Trimmers in? Trimmers out?

I have an Ozone Roadster 2 wing 26 m

Thanks

Yep - lots of factors involved.
We have been have pilots post there fly times

flight times

I have not been keeping track - I think average 2 bats is 10 12 min, 4 bats 20-25 mins.

Use a vario (with GPS and glide ratio indication) and check what works best for you.

Get a bigger wing that is not a reflex profile. A conventional wing where you are in the middle of the recommended placard weight range will be slower, but will require less power to keep you loft.
