My experience in the Electro mirrors Scott's, although he seems to be better at centering the low thermals than I! I'm usually closer to 30% battery used for a self launch.
My experience is similar to Tony's. I usually climb to 1000 at about 70% power then dial back to sustainer level 4 KW searching for the 1st thermal then center the thermal until I climb to 2000 then shut down. A good day I will have 70% battery left. On a bad day 50%
There is no plummet mode with the FES
