C&TSRR = Jordan Spreader Test

[Roger Hogan]

I am not happy with this video but IMHO it is better than no video. Thunderstorms all around us and really crazy wind gusts. I had to land and put away the drone cuz it started raining. They had a air leak so were never able to get a good test. I will try again the next time they do another test. IMHO the last clip is the best one.

Was wondering on Friday if they had that working to open the blades up. Great job showing some of the work being done, looks like some was shear elbow grease!

I enjoyed the video Roger, thanks for hurrying back from Alamosa so you could set up and video the attempt to make it function. Chuck Deuker (team leader) said the upper resivour tank plug (painted black in your ariel view) has such a MASSIVE air leak they couldn't get the air pressure up to operate the cylinders properly.

Check out the cab on the spreader about 1 minute in, it appears to be rocking.

We will try again when they are ready.

When they tell me they are ready I will try again.

I think the "rocking cab" may be due to a lag in the drone camera gimble not reacting rapidly enough to account for swirling cross-winds in the yard at that time. I was with Roger and he was really having to work to keep the drone where he wanted it.

I agree Pete.
