It would be interesting to hear what type of limitations you have encountered for this "flier" type of psub. What rules and limitations are there? I think minimum speed is the only one I can think of offhand. This speed limit can be offset somewhat by a larger set of planes...

Does anyone know anything about the non-compressible foam or microspheres?
