This was informative...
Within 15s of takeoff, you are already at the max rated speed of this craft 72 kph or 20m/s. You actually exceed the 20m/s electronically governed speed limit which tells me you are going with the wind on the outbound flight.. Did you know that that brings on very significant current drain which stresses the battery?
This was a VERY informative read. I've got a P3 and Inspire 1 that I've used to photograph castle ruins in the country of Georgia. Several times I've had to hike up to a vantage point and fly my craft over/up to the target area to get my shots, then come straight back down.
I've seen the exact effect you're describing a number of times (fast drain on the climb, slower drain on the descent/return).
Your post pretty much confirmed what I already thought was going on (and it makes sense - I work m y ass off going up the stairs, never down).
