Satellite Hits the Grass but Keeps Flying

Not a good engine run on first flight of the day of Satellite 320 but after recovering from stall glided a good distance.

320 has an amazing glide. I was very impressed with mine.

Mine has been repaired a few times and has Mt Fuji tissue over Mylar but still glides well.

It was going down hard, but hit the grass and it seemed to bounce back up enough to glide out onto the lawn. You could hear the grass strike. Amazing!

I think there was a good deal of kinetic energy from the dive.
