I’m pretty sure Bret’s answer to the glide was like 30:1.
Dive? Doubtful.... If you mean pop.... perhaps to push the LAR out but if you are in contested airspace then you screwed up royally.
You mean the mX-15 ball i'm guessing?
Anyone else who's flown this thing raise your hand ..trust me it glides like a maniac.
