More videos of the oscillations. You can hear the motors surging. In the next week we will attempt a 200 foot flight. If that flight is successful, and the pilot for OCISDY is comfortable, we'll look into a 400 foot flight/drop. If were at 400 foot, no sense why we just

We may make a 200ft flight attempt tomarrow with OCISDY and ship together weather pending. Was going to try today and had some last minute personal business to attend to this evening.

Flap movement, what everyone wants to see. We dont move the flaps in flight while attached to the drone. Im not 100% what it could effect in prop wash to the drone while in flight, so we keep flaps in flight position.

So I got off work early today... got home almost 3 hrs ago, and I just noticed this... my daughter told me it looked too plain and needed something, so she made stickers....

Smolspace will be standing down from a drone/ship flight today. Local winds are at 10-15mph and gusty. No sense risking the drone. We'll try again tomarrow evening.

Standing down again from today's flight. Higher then desired winds have returned today and will be increasing. Tomarrows forecast calls for lower winds. We expect the possibility of tomarrow or Sunday for a 200ft flight attempt.

During the 200 foot attempt, we had anomaly. At about 50 foot the ship went absolutely out of but. I was able to fly it to the ground, but SN4 took heavy damage, and the drones props are messed up. Well order new props at test the drone again. We had lots of issues today,

Fligjt director took a good look before flight, not sure what she's been doing, the hop and this flight have had technical difficulties.

What we learned from OCISDYs crash landing. After reading this, I understand now what the drone was shuttering on take off, and it does it with the new drop craddle and drop hardware. After we make some adjustments and new people arrive, well try again.

After multiple rabbit holes, software adjustments in my computer and more fun then a non computer person could shake a stick at, we got the drone to communicate with the DJI software. Gains were way off from factory settings for some reason. They have been fixed. No we wait on
