Test Flight 5

First, we did a grid search of the practice field to find targets, drone was low on battery and crashed, the damage was still manageable. Next flight we attempted to drop the ping pong balls on the target with our working servo, but they flew out to the top of the dropping mechanism during the windy flight, so we manually landed the drone on the target.

Test Flight 2

Second flight, testing Black Pearl Monitor and Camera connection to view flight from Drone. This was a manually flown flight.

Test Flight 4

Autonomous flight testing a grid path. Camera was replaced and the Black Pearl monitor now works again.

Test Flight 6

The last test flight, battery was low again and soon after take off the drone crashed, the landing gear was not reparable.
