  * Qmax: ~10 PSF
  * Altitude: ~600 feet AGL

2. Series 2:
  * Aero performance verification
    - Power-On drag
  * Expand performance envelope
  * RTLS demonstration
  * Qmax: ~60 PSF
  * Altitude: ~5,000 feet AGL

3. Series 3:
  * Rotation maneuver to validate aero model
  * Increasing Q at rotation
  * Reacquisition of GPS
  * Propelland management
