Pilot error.
The Mini-Popweing glides fairly well.
Power climbs and glides gave me 20minutes on a 2S500mah.
My residual voltage typically varies between 7.1-7.5v, way above the ESC's low voltage cut-off, but it does not have sufficient thrust to fly.
My routine is to fly it full-power up high, then chop the power and let it glide down low.
On its last flight yesterday, I got it up to a speck, the power was cut-off and it was gliding when my eyes strayed to look at a tri-rotor behind me for a second.
And I couldn't find it in the clouds anymore.
Simply put, pilot error, it climbed too high for my eyes.
