Default RE: terminal velocity

By terminal velocity do you mean a straight down dive or just flat out speed?

If you meant in a dive then yes. You just add enough weight so that the weight of the model equals the drag of the airframe at 275 or 300 or whatever. Mind you it may not be able to fly level on it's own at that weight.

And why power off?
