Flight Test 4 | Buffalo Rocket 

A short video intended to share the footage of the fourth flight of the all self-developed Buffalo rocket!
You may wonder why the altitude of this launch was as low as it was, and you may infer that something had seriously gone wrong; however, this was expected. This launch should demonstrate the full capabilities of the stabilization system at a low thrust-to-weight ratio, and it moderately did so. Some fine-tuning of the stabilization system could further enhance it, but I firmly believe that I am reaching the maximum stability possible with the current design. The design uses an MPU6050, which had been believed to be not even flight-able; it doesn't possess a roll control system, which strongly contributes to the instabilities; and it uses PID control, which is not the pinnacle of control theory and needs to be replaced by somewhat more revolutionary.
The parachute deployment system didn't perform at its best as well. It certainly deployed at the moment it should have, but unfortunately, the parachute cords got stuck within the deployment system. The parachute deployment system, therefore, needs some major rework as well!
So this ends the flight test succession of the Buffalo rocket, with many improvements that need to be made moving forward. Those improvements will be made upon the all-new Buffalo Pro rocket!
