Going to test this flight with a 1/4" dowel rod and watercolor 140lbs paper, no bracing, but 1-3 layers thick (3 tests). At the moment, COM is just above COL as expected, but far back enough to cause drop to allow speed to create lift. Will update on all my foam ideas in the future!
This one is a DROP TEST, therefore speed restart is necessary otherwise, stall will occur from lift. When speed is around 60mph, restart from there using "restart from here". and the model will accurately show drop, drag, lift realtime.
