Waypoint Guidance with an Amateur Rocket (Publisher Recommended)

So... you think Iraqi teenagers with IEDs are dangerous?... 'GenNext' has skills too. He's soooo on a list

My fin-controlled rocket DIAMOND-X can now fly to waypoints in the sky! Flights 3, 4 and 5 were all waypoint guidance tests. One of these was very successful, with miss distances from the waypoint measured in inches. This system is used to fly the rocket into the wind, so it doesn't land as far away after descending on its parachute. With about a 6 inch miss distance from the waypoint, I think it has earned the "precision" title.
