Yellow Bird Test Three

The importance of the CG (center of gravity) , the stiffness and alignment of the flight surfaces results in a properly flying plane. In this video clip Prof. Iadevaia shows the results of YellowBird's successful taxi, take-off, flight and landing after the repairs and modifications made from data acquired during the two previous tests. Of course, time spent on the flight simulator program didn't hurt!

The video camera performed just fine. The camera's pointing is a slight issue but can be corrected by tightening a small bolt. In conclusion YellowBird is a suitable platform for aerial video. It is stable.
