Hi All! 

In the last project log it was about failures and problems to solve, in this one I'm happy to tell you that it is about success and a big milestone reached! 

R2Home is now perfectly functional on the mechanical part, that is to say that now all that remains to be done concerns only wiring, programming, things a little easier to test! And less risky!

Here is a small picture of the latest version of the system, including a camera, data-logging, telemetry, manual RC control. 

On the background the new "drop drone" (DJI S800 Evo). This drone is now only used to lift the system and not anymore as a static line deployer for the system. 

Now the system is fully autonomous in terms of deployment forces. 

 - So you'r talking a lot about the deployment but can we see how is it working now ? 

Sure sure! Here it is : 

Step 1 : be in free-fall 

Step 2 : release deployment bag 

Step 3 : the wing is pulled out of the dbag, the drogchute is "disabled" (see last log for more informations about the magic drogchute) 

Step 4 : the wing inflate, and fly !

Here is now the complete video of the latest test : 

And here is a special video to celebrate this milestone : 

Thank you to all those who have supported the project since the beginning, nothing would have been possible without them!
