Tasks Before Next Test
Operational changes we need to make: Manufacturing needs to ensure motor tightening and stiffness of the motor mounts and arms using additional fasteners or other methods. Perform test flights in a recommended wind of about 10kts, reduce limit to 15kts until further testing. Perform testing with aircraft further away and possibly at higher altitudes to allow for room for correction.
