Attained total hands off autonomy successfully :yayayayayay:
(Ignore the wonky video my mum was trying her best)


Man this is the best day in my life. :yayayayayay:

For starters ill start from yesterday, after coming home i realised i
dont have much pitch stablity cuz the elevator was hitting the carbon
spar, so i ditched conventional tail and made a Vtail instead.

After i set it up in arduplane the next step was to go out and test it,
And oh boy testing i did.


I flew first in FBW A (stablize) And it flew fkin beaut, at 30m altitude
i set it to Auto mode, I had preprogrammed 4 waypoints and then RTL in
the fc.


It flew absolutely perfectly (except for the fact that the winds was WAY
too high i could NOT fly it but the fc could) So after it finished i
tried bringing it home in FBW A mode (worst idea ever :fear: )

The wind literally yeeted it in other direction and i switched on RTL, unfortunately it was wraps :sob-wx:

The plane crashed in a gravel making facility (idk bro)

And i was surprised to find out that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BROKE!!!!!?!!?! :yayayayayay:

THAT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF MIRACLE BRO

Like literally the only thing broken was that ONE SINGULAR SOLDER JOIN
CAME LOOSE DIDNT EEN BREAK IT JS CAME LOOSE

So after it crashed we panicked and rushed to the facility, the security
was super helpful and i had telemetry link with it so i was able to
find it in no time :yayayayayayay:


This project was excruciating but absolutely worth it in the end, I will be flying it in more beautiful locations later


The image in the end is the aftermath of the flight (literally spotless)
