Hello, Robert:
Nice tests!
About the verticality of the landing, i thin the better results will be if you make some feather stabilizers, but very bigger than the ones you have made.
Probably the wooden wings or the short feather are more apropiated for achieve a straigth flying of the proyectil. There are ideal for straight flying proyectils, like bolts or arows. For get a vertical landing you have to add a "parachute efect". Look at a badmington ball. The stabilizers are clearly oversized respect the ball itself.
Please, make one of that oversized feathers, probe it and say us how goes!
About the distance, i think the test have to be made in "real battle conditions": with full equip, scutum, etc. The maximum distance of Aitor's group probably have been make without full equip.
