Hi Guys,
Was thinking..... In a downward flight, will a 140gram vs a 105gram f3p plane( totally identical in built, except in the weight) be different in downward vertical speeds? We know that in a vacuum, all things accelerate at 9.8m/sec2. so weight was never the issue. But in the real world, this might not actually happen. What I'm trying to say is.....if it does not really make a difference, the way to slow things down during the down-line flight is by drag devises, not so much as by reducing weight. What do you think? Just my thoughts....
