Hey there!
While we're still getting ready for higher altitude test flights (in Switzerland and in the US!), I continue to test the system with a little bit more extreme conditions.
Today I wanted to do a test flight with a heavier payload: 1kg, meaning a greater flight speed, (and also we don't want the landing point to be near the drone pilote - me - anymore, because R2Home is so precise it's a little bit dangerous!)
There was also more wind than during the latests test flights in September.
Here is the video of the test flight :
And here two pictures of the GPS trace of the flight: red is ascent under the drone, and blue is descent under the guided parachute.

I've also spent the last few days re-writing the code with modules instead of a single.. too long.. code file. This will make updates easier as we're going to do more risky flights in the coming weeks!
