[QUOTE="JBM, post: 61635, member: 1969"] [ QUOTE ] Gravity stays the same. The only difference should be a "stretching out" of the parabolic curve due to higher retained velocities at higher elevations. [/ QUOTE ] The problem with this thinking is that there is a vertical component of the velocity that is retarded by gravity AND drag so with less drag it may go slightly higher -- less than an inch...
