Scout F - Raw Footage - Flights 4, 5, and 6
🕑 Added 2022-09-02 00:56:39 +0000 UTCHey Patrons! I've got a ton of raw footage for ya here!
I fell behind on the raw footage and data reviews for flights 4, 5, and 6 and am playing catch-up now. I'll have those up in a few days or so, but after a slow August we're back to burnin real hard on Scout flights.
This means that we're flying again Saturday morning for Flight 7 (livestream link soon!), and pending the results of that, we might fly another time after. I want a few good landings under my belt and I'm convinced we can get a softer touchdown than we had on flight 5, so thanks for bearing with me as we fly super often!

More details will come with the data reviews, but real quick regarding flight 6, I think we're super close to getting very reliable landings - the throttle control is working great and the last thing I want to dial in is the landing attitude. It helps the legs a whole lot if we touch down with all 4 at once, so prioritizing attitude near the end of the burn should make a big difference. Right now we spend the last half second or so just nulling angular rate regardless of attitude, an approach left-over from when I thought we'd be dropping from much higher.
Anyway, enjoy all the footage, and thanks as always for your support!
