Re: MultiWii OSD - MWOSD

Shikra, I was thinking about adding a fixed wing efficiency panel. A simple mi/mAh display would be a good start (groundspeed/amps); with that number we can practice optimal cruising speed (for max range). The display can also include sink rate per amp, which could be used to maximize flight time. M...
