3.1 Sampling sites

Our sampling site was outside the Research Lab, as it has low wind turbulence, which would affect our plane and make the test unfair.

3.5 Special observations

Our results tend to vary after each experiment for some of the planes. Also, the planes tend to tilt to the left whenever launched. The launcher broke but we managed to fix it before the deadline. The planes will sometimes have anomalous data.
