Default RE: Penetration

Go straight to models for examples.

Foamys are a good example of the lack of penetration from lack of mass. When our Tuesday gathering has high winds predicted, the guys who fly small electrics often don't show up. They fly mostly scratch built. Some are balsa and some are foam. All are lightweights.

There is a reason kites have no mass compared to their "wing area".
