Pilot Notes
2 digifin aborts since the cleaning. Both were with the fin at > + 25 degrees. Conclusion is the fin sticks when at, near, or beyond that point. MBD pulled for 2nd abort segment, unsure about 1st at this time. use + digifin and exit reset did not put the fin back in service. Fin ultiamtely drifted to -.62 radians. I set f_fin_safety_max to .65 in order to attempt to be in control of glider(iridium) and still have the fin 'in service'. f_digifin_movement_retry_max and setdevlimit would not help in this regard. setnumwarn did, set it to 50, regained iridium on glider while fin was still trying to move to 0. Then slowly inched it back to 0. Limited fin to .3 radians immediately, and set that in longterm.dat. Reset the vehicle.
