Flight Test Post Mortem

  • It flew and did not crash

  • We got recording

    • We got footage

    • We need to do more analysis to confirm it wasn’t corrupted

  • We met success criteria

  • Good pilot trainning

  • All of our new sensor worked well

    • Flew well in the wind

    • New sensors were working as desired

  • We didn’t follow the checklist too tightly and resulted in us having to go back to grab Houston props when we were at WRESTRC on the 19th.

    • We kind of ignored this checklist

  • Was kind of rushed and scheduled at the same time as other flight test

    • Added extra work onto preparing for frosted flakes flight test

  • We probably need a new landing gear

    • Our current one worked but was a little scuffed, but worked well
