Note that 3 of the runs recorded the same max speed, but had different end points.

It may have been a resolution issue (I had left the SG reading MPH, but if I change to km/h on the I may be able to detect smaller differences). I was thinking I could also adjust the SG's speed offset by, say, 100% (if it goes that high), effectively doubling the speed resolution...

I may just try that.

About the weather: the best weather to test in would be cold with high pressure and low humidity = dense air & more drag.
