While there may not be much in the way or practical applications for this, I
thought the amount of time and engineering effort that went in to this was just
incredible. Truly remarkable. Makes my L3 flight childish in comparison.

Subject: [roc-chat] Controlled launch and landing of a model rocket using
thrust vectored F class motors
I came across this youtube video of a flight of a model rocket that is fully
controlled to do a vertical takeoff and landing using two F class motors and
just had to share.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YixmPK26upk
The rocket includes:
* Flight controller with associated sensors
* Reaction wheel
* Thrust vectoring mount for the rocket engines
* 4 high speed cameras on board
* 900 MHz radio data link
* GPS
* Emergency actively deploy-able parachutes
* Actively deployed landing legs
This is my first post to this list, so please let me know if I should not be
sharing this sort of content here.
