FULLY SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT!!! I could not be more happy with how today's launch went. It reached an apogee of 250m and had a max velocity of 40m/s. It was insanely stable with a max deviation of 3 degrees.

@SunWeatherMan You have off grid power? I've been looking into small scale hydro. I like systems that can last long term without battery swaps

Mach 0.92 low pass by Mig-17

Twice in a lifetime....so far

Starship does not disappoint

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@systems_zero Best of luck you're a g you got this!

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@joebarnard 😂 The two week phenomenon is truly a glitch in the matrix

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

Was able to catch today's annular eclipse! I also got some Jupiter and Saturn pics getting setup last night

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

I'd like to bring my social medias back to life but my priorities have moved from rocketry. What would you like to see most?

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@astro_jaz My all time favorite

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@systems_zero @KenKirtland17 G8 ultra slow liftoff with position control is my dream

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@Breadiboo Very proud of nurse braeden! Big W

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@blasius_brian On my last post you can see the setup. About a 4.7 gear ratio between servo angle and motor angle I believe. The only thing I don't like is they're a bit slow so roll could be problematic.

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

FIRST HOPS! Still need some tuning and position control, but orientation control is working. Was having trouble with high winds too.

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@blasius_brian I've been using the emax es08mdii for a while and I like them a lot. Maybe about time to upgrade to some bluebirds though.

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@blasius_brian Yeah! Mostly for testing code and tuning for the dual g8 hopper which I'm working on next.

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@_Difint_ Using the same orientation pid values I manually found on previous versions but still need to find values for position pid. I'll start using matlab/simulink soon though

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

Conk V4 is almost ready for its first hops!🚀🚀🚀

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@joebarnard Kalman filter for my electric hopper! Should be flying very soon🚀

[Alex Hyer @HyerRocket]

@joebarnard Ah the two week phenomenon. A tale as old as time. Good luck on getting everything together!
