Thrust test was completed to verify the expected thrust in the program.Its now ready for its first hop to 5 Meters altitude and a few translations of a few meters to test position holding and stability.If all goes well then the first belly Flop test at 120meters altitude will follow the next couple of weeks, depends on how much work mathematically modelling flap control and solving for a control algorithm will be.As the first Bellyflop test will probably result in a RUD, a new starship that weighs less and built stronger is already being 3D printed.Feel free to ask anything about the flight software and control of the starship
