  • Big W

  • cv landing pad auto-detection was successful

  • the camera had a skewed colour balance – the ground looks purple in the camera

  • autotune completed

  • we learned general procedure on auto-tune

  • Not much was happening

  • cv camera wasn’t logging footage, needs to be fixed this week

  • for RTK, we flew with only one compass calibrated, RTK fixed

  • the telemetry signal was really bad

  • when running auto-mission and the drone flew to a relatively far point, it lost the connection and failsafed

  • the landing repeatability is about the same as the two blended M9s
