Scout E Flight 2 Footage and Data Review
🕑 Added 2021-10-05 22:46:23 +0000 UTCHowdy Patrons! Buncha footage and data for ya here!
Unfortunately a pretty bad flight. Had tons of camera issues, ascent motor didn't eject, I think a good chunk of this is a result of not flying this for so long. Silver lining, in light of this flight I think it's time to try a new design with a stiffer airframe, and FINALLY some position control on landing, which would allow for a landing pad, which would fix leg bounce. Perhaps one day I'll actually land one of these things...
More soon! :)

I got suggestion for video, I would love to see you talk about the filming aspect of these flights bc I remember you saying how you went to school for something along those lines. I think it would be interesting

The quote "It's very pretty, but I'm not super sure what it is" is pretty great too, but the t-shirt would be better with just the unexplained or minimally explained graph.

Joe - if you're still looking for random ideas for merch, I'd love a t-shirt of that colorful graph that you decide not even to analyze online, it was so complicated. Just run that across the chest (the whole width of the graph as shown at 17:44) like some t-shirt out of the 70s, on black just like in the Processing display. Graphically gorgeous, and meaningful data, even if not commemorating anything crucial. BPS logo on the sleeve maybe.

Aw crap! It's a lot harder than it would seem! I hope you can try again soon.
