This video shows Ruby performing fully autonomous landings of a Multiplex Merlin and Funjet in strong and turbulent crosswind.

In each landing, the pilot had hands completely off the controls to simulate a complete transmitter loss. Normally, you can help Ruby to make a softer touchdown by smoothly pulling back the right stick as it gets within a foot or two off the ground to "flare" and slow down. (This will be necessary until we offer a device that can tell Ruby where the ground is with better precision than a barometric altimeter.)

That was no day at the beach, but this was: [watch video].

Here's a video of an autonomous landing of a Radian in more ideal circumstances, although without a nice flare at the end: [watch video]
