Commiserations to Mr Moose for the not so successful first flight of the Decathlon. We look forward to the rebuild and getting it back in the air again.  We also feel for you too Mike as it’s not a good feeling when that happens to someone else’s plane.

Here is a video of my last automated flight with the C1 Chaser today.  I have tried adjusting some of the flight parameters to achieve a better landing but the airspeed seems way too high and landings were overshooting.  I did notice from the telemetry that I did have a tailwind on one of the landings.

A couple of wins are I sorted the plane going left and successfully tested the abort landing function which will be in another video.

 

The next video with the test aborted landings.  Three aborts and then I manually landed it.
