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.

Videos (optional)
