Hi all,
I am considering building an Apogee . I've been to the CRRC site ,
and the required details seem to be there.
Before going ahead and committing myself , I'm trying to find out
about more about the flying behavior. particularly the 36" as opposed to the
40".

gravitational field by flying an approx
