Hope y’all enjoy the big ol compilation here! Tried to include all the 4k 60fps angles and data your little engineer hearts could ever want 
Testing timestamps below!
Thanks to Jonathan Boggs from Triiaxis for machining the TVC vanes! You can check out all his work here: https://www.youtube.com/user/split141x

That is just awesome! Ive followed some of you videos and it looks like your hard work is paying off. Sprite is looking amazing and seems to perform very well! Well done!
A bit off topic, id just like to ask if you know about the FAA’s NPRM for Remote ID and have you sent them a comment regarding Remote ID?
my hero! kudos man..
wait wait this moon landing tech… this is real science , clap clap way to go man..
RIP afterburner 😥
Looking Good Joe!
Are you still working on the self landing rocket with the solid motor?
Great work
Where can I buy that awesome NASA sweater?
Great Vid by the way
the missile knows where it is …
Hey Joe, what camera/lens setup are you using? The footage is looking c r i s p .
What graphing software do you use? I’m on a look out for a live graph and those look like would work for me.
You do cool stuff.
Thanks,
John
Never really liked the afterburner anyway lol
Hi Joe! Congrats for the achievements! Can you tell me which language program are you using for the gui and the pc control software? Thanks!
Great video as always. Would it be worth getting an aneometer so that you can take account of the wind gusts?
Amazing craft and guidance software! Fantastic work.
For a while, I wondered where you were going with this project, but I get it now (makes more sense after the afterburner explanation). This is cool af…
So you’re the guy flying the mystery drones in Colorado.😎
This is so cool! Can’t wait to see higher altitude flights and sprint! Also I have a good recommendation, you should have a parachute for an abort.
do you sell these sprite boards? i’d really like to have my own little working rocket at home
Gotta trust your baby-sprite more. It was so funny watching you “spot” Sprite’s landing… reminds me of teaching my son to ride a bike.
Congratulations, it is amazing to see Sprite do what you want it to – and nice to see how pleased you are, rightly so!
P.S. zip-ties for the win! (Although, once you do actually fly your projects to space, you’d not want to rely on zip-ties… or would you?)
*hello, NASA? Still waiting on that phone call! Thnx!*
You do stuff that’s cool. Love the video updates of what’s cooking
Great video mate, very good outcome. Brilliant idea to add the stator ring to provide anti roll of the body.👍👍😊
Awesome! Love the hoodie! And didn’t care about the redundant afterburner anyway 😅
Joe I’m happy you decided to remove the after burner. I think that it was in your way and I’m glad you have refocused on what matters.
Joe, this is awesome. The constant learning and adapting to test results is just fantastic.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Tu eres un mounstro…!!! Te felicito hermano…!! 💪🏻
Hard work is paying ❤
Well done that was amazing
Sprite is awesome! Great production quality too.
Your build is amazing. You know space x is hiring.
I have a huge respect for you and the work you are doing!
This is so great! Keep it up!
Thanks for keeping us updated with these little details.
I will join in your company that Bps. Space after I complete my school and college
Thank you that was Brilliant . Keep going
Whats the song in the outro? I really like this tune
Joey, inspired by your way of commitment towards passion. From music engg to rocket science.
Headphone warning!!! LOL
Nice! That was pretty cool to see it leaning into the wind.
congratulations for you work!!! is perfect hahaha!! mmm btw, wich battery are you using??? in your case maybe a battery with a higher C rate could help
I love it! Every sprite flight makes me very nervous!!
Ayy, 13th comment, never been this early.
Busted out laughing at the “Wasted”
@5:00 that’s a long 2m
I wanna see it do a pirouette followed by a loop and a soft landing with a fast approach!!
You’re amazing!
Take my money!!! I would like to build/buy one.
Congratulations on some beautiful flights, and great engineering! Since the afterburner is gone, replace the aluminium TVC vanes with PLA ones again. That should save some more weight.
Dude you know I can see you as the next Elon musk or the first you.
Looks amazing man! Great job and good luck!
Love your music, can’t wait until you upload it!
8:49 The “weird look” is from the sound being slightly ahead of the image. For some reason, humans perceive that as weird, while being much more tolerant for the other way round (image ahead of sound). Tom Scott once made a video about that effect.
Wow this is really cool!(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
i look forward to every video Joe! such an inspiration! thank you for being awesome. I’m looking forward to the day you have Elon in a video its definitely coming.
what a great idea! when you where flying it in the wind i noticed that it seems like the auto adjust gain might be too high, was overshooting a bit there.
Very impressive stability, especially in the wind. Amazing work you’re doing!
Dude, you’re a stud! It works so impressively well. Awesome telemetry.
Very impressive! I wish I had the time to do something like this. You reminded me of a father watching his toddler taking her first steps!
F for the Flamethrower
Anyway, (still) love the project
AWESOME JOE! Great Job! Livin’ the dream!
Watching from Clarksville. Love what you’re doing.
Sweet footage! I agree with dropping the after burner, though I would like to see you do liquid fueled rockets 🤔.
That’s amazing! I would love to own a sprite
Well, that was freaking awesome. I love the progress you’ve been making Joey B!! Respect.
16:20 The moment where the flame hits the marshmallow is hilarious!
Your sweater is awesome where did you get it!?
Hi MR. BEPIS! Have u thought of putting springs on the landing legs to help Sprite land more smoothly and without a jolt on impact? U can add them on the end of each leg end and the “cushion” system could be like a pen’s spring(without the lock in place mechanism).
Best of luck with Sprint!
good to know that you got some toasty bois out of the afterburners
I’mma build me one of these! Honestly just the blinking lights alone make it look 5x cooler. Keep up the amazing work!
Really impressed with the Emergency Landing Failure Recovery and Touch-down Stability Device. Is that run on some sort of A.I. program or just sensor reactive? It looked like it was actually holding it’s breath a few times.
I’d suggest doing a non-linear descend rate, like an inverse exponential or a simple inverse so it slows down at the end and doesn’t hit the ground too hard
Those stators are a massive improvement, love the progress!
What programming language you used to program the hardware and software?
Excellent work.
When I was designing a focal control system for the human eye – I was thinking about this type of control system stability.
Thank you, Joe.
This is impressive!
Man the quality on these videos has gone up quite a bit! Love watching, so keep making:)
I’m waiting for “Flying with Joe” and “Carbonated Sprite”!
Idk why but the clips of the TVC fins just twitching back and forth ever so slightly is my favorite part of this video, other than the news of more rockets to come
Those nice men from the Pentagon: on the way they are. See you they must.
Love theses videos and the stress I see in your body language is exactly like mine when I started flying drones 10 years ago. Keep up the amazing work.
Sproite ✊👌
Hello Mr. BPS
Need a few more colours
Hovering state, descending state and propulsion cool down are all the same blue.
Good stuff mr milkman! Always a pleasure to make stuff:) if you need anything else let me know!
When Sprite is in the ascending state, why does it pulse the throttle about 4 times before it lifts off?
3:45
*Sprite:* Look I can hover!
*Joe:* Hold my beer
Sooo when will you work on liquid fuel rockets???
Asking for a friend
bruh lmao joe ur so stewpit obviusly the bestest rockets propilent is metalendric hydragen it is super eficient and easy to produce ur noob
man i really wanna see elon musk react to you
omg joe no kidding you look exactly like elon
The vibe of iron man first flight test can be felt here.
The level of engineering is insane!
20/10 would hop again
Is anyone paying attention to how complex are his shoots? like: several cameras + drone + sound etc.. impressive man!
This is kind of like watching the Falcon 9R Dev footage
Joey B kinda looks like a dad watching his kid play sports in these test videos ;p
But in all seriousness that thing is looking pretty stable! Best of luck for some LARGE diverts <3
Well then I’m not gonna do my homework now.
I hope Elon Musk finds out this channel and gives him funding.
