Alrighty, catching up!

The Cortina did her first flight at the beginning of the month during the French flyers visit... And it flew like in a magazine!
Straight from the launch (thanks Ralph!).

The only thing I changed are the controls. Ailerons and elevator are fully mixed, not separated as per the original manual. Much more authority, I like it better this way. Other than that, that thing is a big pussycat, and flies like a conventional 4m glider.
That thing is going to get lots of air time  :-* :-*
