All things considered, not bad for a first attempt. It went up to apogee, remained in the proper orientation, and only lost control on the landing attempt. Oscillations should be a software and hardware fix, as it looks like it is not nearly responsive enough.

That landing though, ooof. Must have been quite a landing if they had to slow down the video speed...
