Wow! That was FAST! Next stop: THE MOON! :D

[@PeterKNoone]

It's an honor to have my name hit the ground at 160mph!

[@francisstapp1583]

implementing automated flight control is probably the best thing you could do for the power and forces on the plane

[@thercproject9309]

"high powered rocket planes are hard to fly".... Mate i'm not sure we learned that today, i thought we had found that out long ago!

[@slayer2476]

hey little brother...aerospace engineer from usa..now in china. i would love to send you some green courage but unfortunately china doesnt let money go out...only in... how ever, i like what you do and im here for any adviuce you may need...my first advice would be to make you models a little bit bigger...the material isnt too much cost but you will find that the planes can be a bit more forgiving..goood luck little brother and please keep[ going...your doing very well.

Point it up more, stiffen up the control surfaces, get it flying nicely as a glider first, think about a roll gyro, nice work and keep it up!

[@IndianaJoe3]

There's a reason why, "rocket science" is a euphemism for something difficult.

[@OrionAerospace]

Hey it’s a start and most of it survived!! If you need a hand getting some controls on that BEAST feel free to shoot us a message ;)

[@par6749]

by now these have become the equivalent of civilian guided missiles

[@takase5037]

next stop: across the English Channel

[@BPSspace]

Your videos are always a treat, James, no matter the outcome! Fast rocket-y things are very hard to control :/

[@captainnerd6452]

"Controlled into the ground" is a great phrase!

[@jibbajabba4597]

Have you considered putting a flight stabiliser or flight controller on board? You're getting up near the speeds where a human can't react in time doing it line of sight - maybe a computer could help?

Regardless of the “failure,” that was still VERY COOL. Thank you for taking us on your journey!

[@Aengus42]

I think you owe Mike a pint! Sterling support!

[@NicholasRehm]

Everyone’s saying flight controller: dRehmFlight is waiting for you James ;)

[@Pman353]

A shifting mass in the fuselage would be an interesting solution to the rapid change in the CG from the rocket burning !

[@drunkunpods2335]

Yes, what a great flight compliments!

[@kevinlind4640]

Something I remember from flying gliders, if you catch a stall, dive until you have enough speed to recover, otherwise turbulence will just keep building on the wings. Not saying this is what happened on the first flight, but it looks a slight bit like it.
