Great work and I'm glad to see someone working on something I've only ever considered working on, but am simply too busy to do myself at the moment. Amazing work.

    A thought I had long ago was a camera looking back at the launch pad and feeding corrections (like a mouse in a way) to a gimbaled motor
    (or even simpler and lighter control using 3 fins and a linear solenoid (coil) controlling the trailing edge of the fins).

    If you lengthen the strakes to the fwd end of the payload bay, you've replicated the Standard missile which has been virtually unchanged aerodynamically since the 1960s - indicating a very successful design.
    Like with Sidewinder, you've gone from front canard control, to rear control (on AIM-9X with TV )
    Have a look where the aargm-er missile is going: (2, blended) strakes along the body, but @ 45° angles from the rear control surfaces ... otherwise, looking a lot like ... Standard

    roll reversal was noted with pilots in ww2 who exceeded the airpseed limits in dives. The ones who lived without their aircraft breaking up discovered their elevators would act in reverse at high enough speeds. so, pulling back as normal to decrease the dive would push them harder towards the ground.

    I actually work with teams of professional engineers in the space industry. I’ve worked at a major space launch company you’ve definitely heard of. And you are putting those teams to shame. I’m a pretty old machinist so I’ve seen the rate of technological change going all the way back to the 1980’s when I first worked on avionics "computers" the size of double door refrigerators. The hinges on the cabinet were the size of your whole control system. I feel like you young guys who grew up with arduinos and 3d printers have really started taking things to the next level. Like 20 years ago these projects would have only been possible by a huge team with millions of dollars to spend. Once AI agents become a thing I think we’ll see the next doubling of capabilities. You should be proud

    2. Parachute opens at max altitude?
    Seems you need to tame down the P gain early in the flight and ramp it up to normal after it gets going.

    A couple H13 long burn would be pretty cool.

    Lot of control theory stuff involved eh? I've been trying to get to grips with all that for a few projects I have in mind but I've found it a struggle. Probably because I'm trying to learn all the pre-requisite math as well; considering the last math course I took was high school 'consumer math'. Mainly the transfer functions I've been having a hard time conceptualizing to the point of having some sort of intuitive grasp of what's going on; regarding mainly the 'building blocks' that make them up, for lack of a better phrase. It would be neat to see a video on your process regarding systems analysis, choice of control systems layout, transfer function, etc. Amazing work though, would love to try out something similar some day.
