Hi, I have been flying the TREX SE with stock ESC (RCM-BL35G 35A Brushless ESC) and stock motor (430L Brushless motor - 3550KV) for about a year now. I am running 315 blades and TP2100 lipo. For one year, I have been operating on Normal Mode only 
and started to run Idleup 1 over the weekend.
That's where I realised that for the past year, I have the ESC timing programmed to "Low" instead of the "Middle" for the Align 6 pole brushless motor. So I programme the ESC to "Mid" time to suit the motor. Here's the finding:
If I run the ESC timing on "Low", it works great and fligh time is 8 mins (recharge need about 1500 mAH using ESO5i/LBA6 charger/balancer).
If I run the ESC timing on the "correct" setting of "Mid", flight time is only about 6 mins and the battery runs out of juice with ESC soft shut-down activating (recharge is about 2100 mAH).
It looks like I should continue with "Low" timing since I am not running any 3D (I understand higher timing means more output power but current drain faster).
I like to know if there is any reason to go from "Low" timing to "Mid" timing. What gives?
Thank you in advance for any inputs.
