Finally a scoring flight!

This morning we finally got called to fly again. This time we were prepared. The wind was calm and our plane was fast. We veered to the right during takeoff which led Brady to jam the throttle and caused a very short takeoff roll, but the plane handled it quite well. It quickly got up to speed and sped through the first turn but during the first reverse turn there was what seemed to be a stall causing a sudden dive, but Brady recovered nicely and sped through the rest of the flight. Our Final flight time was 1:28 which was one of the faster flight times for the mission.



Unfortunately that was the last opportunity we had to fly during the competition. the competition was officially ended with us 4th in line to fly . So unfortunately thats how it ended, with only one successful flight...
