The first flight didn't go perfectly but he did recover it. The "large sugar motor test" that someone else did was spectacular even if it was off camera.
Looks like it was fine as long as there was thrust... went unstable at burnout. That's the problem with hobby rocketry TVC... the motors generally don't burn long enough for stability through the entire ascent. Maybe some small fins would help.
He lost linkage between the fins.But this wasn’t TVC - the fins were servo driven. Aft fins, rather than canards. It looked like the gain was too high to me. And I didnt listen all the way through (the pie finished warming up) - but did he loose one of the servos in flight?

How do you feel about a 19.8s burn time on a 29mm motor?I recently misread the specs on a 29mm motor. I thought it said 17s burn time not 1.7s. For just a few seconds I was dreaming of a 17s burn motor. and then... reality struck...
The latter doesn't necessarily follow the former, but a link would certainly be interesting.There is a guy in China that has mastered the TVC and movable fins. So now everyone is playing catch-up. It's interesting to see progress, everyone has stopped what they're doing to do what this guy is doing.
This is what *everyone* is now trying to replicate. This guy is really brilliant and you can really see the change in how a lot of the 'youtube' rocket guys are are now inspired by a lot of his work.

I am a telented guy, but wow, this guy makes me want to pack it up and go home, incredible attention to detail.
If you were doing anything before, watching this video will make you stop what you are doing and 'upgrade'. Most of the TVC and flight computers you see now are all derivative of just a few that were really just ignored till the youtubers came along to build rockets around it and made the every day man want to build something to reach out to space...Even the video itself looks extremely professional.

I'm impressed!This is what *everyone* is now trying to replicate. This guy is really brilliant and you can really see the change in how a lot of the 'youtube' rocket guys are are now inspired by a lot of his work. You can see
