Sustained Hovering achieved

I went out and tested hovering for more than 1 minute successfully!

I started off testing for about 2 minutes.

And then I ran it again for closer to 4 minutes.



I stopped this test because I noticed one of the engine mount bolts was shaking. I'll want to secure it tighter.

The bolt that was wiggling.

It was rotating as a whole, and not unthreading.


For a sense of how high the craft was hovering here's two pictures of the 5 gallon barrels next to the craft.

Inflated the deck is close to the top of the barrel

Deflated the deck is only 8" high, les than half the barrel.

 I know it's hard to see from this perspective. I'll get some better perspectives in the future tests.
