I had to rush this test as I am going to be out of town tomorrow. As a result, I forgot to put in the latest version of the DragonOSD firmware. Other than that, the test went fine - it was windy with strong headwinds. The current sensor is calibrated too high so that the current consumed for the flight is actually only about 1650mAh according to the charger. Total actual flight time is about 24 minutes and the furthest point is just about 4km. I had to turn back as my video was starting to go.

The DragonLink control system perform flawlessly despite having a broken antenna feed wire. I had driven 30 minutes to make this test so I decided to just go with it and pray that nothing bad happens. Fortunately for me - the system performed flawlessly even with the bad wire. The receiver antenna was just a 164mm brass rod with two 164mm 22-gauge (0.66mm) copper wires as radials. The flying is a bit erratic because the glider wasn't trimmed properly and I was trying to adjust things on the ground. In fact, the autopilot was untested as well. The only time I tried the autopilot was when I was turning around to come home - that was manually activated autopilot.

There are some herringbone lines in the video and this is due to the poorly filtered switching power supply that I put into the video receiver. I need to add a bit more filtering for my next flight.
