Not really. It's just a matter of bringing the entire thing up in the air and let it free-fall nose down unpowered. Then just record the velocity on the way down as a function of altitude. That's terminal velocity. So, not hard, but 'costly'. During ascent in the lower atmosphere you should stay under that speed as you rise
