Would there be any benefit to reducing the max throttle position? When I am in auto mode and the plane is moving to another waypoint ( and possibly a new higher altitude) the throttle seems to go to max.
I suppose this is good, but it really decreases the battery time! Can I reduce the max throttle and if so would it help any as far as flight time?
thanks for any suggestions..

The current Bixler PARAM file setting is currently set at 75% throttle. I don't know about you, but I can launch with only 50% throttle and maintain and fly at around 20% throttle. I currently fly a Bixler ARF stock with a 6x4E prop upgrade.
I've modified my THR_MAX parameter to 50% and am thinking of reducing it further to 40%. The original setting of 75% made by Bixler very "jerky" in performance and fly at a much higher rate of speed than the glider performance I would like.
Here is my video I used to help tune my airframe. Please notice that when I enter "Auto" or hit a fence breach the throttle goes up to 50%.

in auto mode there is a throttle override above half throttle. this was to beat wind etc. i usualy leave me throttle at 0 while in auto.
