<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: medium">i never really go over 150-200 ft altitude. the field is just bigger than a football field that i fly at. i suppose if i go with a complete clear and no cover i could sit it on the ground and run a couple hundred feet away to maybe get some sort of how it would be. definitely different once in the sky though. i do realize that one. maybe painting the balsa a different color and then doing the clear covering. that would make for a very interesting design also. does anyone know how well monocrap or ultracote sticks to painted balsa? i may have to experiment. back to the drawing board...</span></span>
