This is a public test of my landing leg design, the rocket will accend up to around 300 meters, then do a simple landing maneuver, i have gotten this landing pretty reliable, around 8/10 landing are successful.
NOTE: Please comment below if the landing legs survived, got dammaged, or exploded

@TotallyNotaY2ER I'll run it a few more times, the first failure may have been some weird fluke

@XxentricC also idk why it has trouble landing foe other people, for me it lands almost always 🤷♂️

I ran it a second time, and all went well! It landed a bit hard and damaged the landing legs, and it bounced but it worked!

@XxentricC this is a prototype for an upcoming starship recreation 🤫🤫🤫

Cool idea, all was nominal, until right when the craft touched the ground, the engine throttled up and it flipped over and nosedived, pretty gnarly. Also, the landing legs fully deploy a bit later than they should, they had me sweatin'. Overall, it's a nice concept. What's your end goal with this?

@TotallyNotaY2ER not in a rude way😅 but I think u should let the engines run longer because it just drops and explodes😭
