Hi everyone,

This weekend saw a flurry of testing. This culminated in a 20 minute
mini-OBC where the camera, bottle drop and full GCS system all worked
together. This was successfully repeated on multiple flights.

This is a huge step for us - it's the first time we've been able to test all
of our UAV and GCS systems in the one flight!

In a bit more detail , we tested:

-GCS with full networked groundstation

-The radio mast with full tracking antenna

-GCS large screen TV

-Joe detection

-(Multiple) bottle drops, with mixed results

-Automatic takeoff

Unfortunately the Bushmaster suffered a small crash during a landing
approach, due to a stall a few metres above the ground. The damage is
definitely fixable and (hopefully) the Bushmaster will be up and running
next weekend.

Thanks

Stephen
