Flight Summary Report
Note:  This flight just barely exceeded the maximum velocity limit for the GPS. (500 m/s or 1640 feet/sec.)  Consequently, the GPS clipped the velocity readings right before the peak and did not resume reporting accurate velocities until the actual velocity dropped back down below the limit.  The TelemetryPro system has an accelerometer onboard and therefore can measure and report velocities higher than the GPS limit.   The accelerometer reported the max velocity to be 1746 feet/sec.
