The correx Impala flies!

Well, I finally have some video of the the Impala in flight.

The wind was light at an estimated 12 - 16mph, so only just enough air as my correx guru Phil stated to me.

I had removed 30 grams of nose weight after the maiden flight as it was pulling out quickly from a dive test. This time it still pulled out, but only gently. I will remove another 10 grams which will hopefully make the C of G spot on then.

So here it is, the Impala flying on Meio Common.

Happy flying

Steve

    I need to try it on somewhere like Mickey's, where there's bags of lift.
    I've noticed that if it lands away from the slope lift, it'll tip stall badly and land with a thump, but bringing it in with slope lift, it doesn't want to come down and needs a fair bit of down elevator. So I'm going to program in spoilerons to help kill the lift for landing.
