The actual (fear) thought that my friend has on the over-pressure issue is that a fuel feeder that was designed for test fires has been used in configuring the vehicle for flight, and that the variation in pressure is coming from increased pressure from gravity feed. It would give a slight anomaly readings during ignition sequence which would seem to immediately go away as soon as flight got underway.
It wouldn't affect flight - just those moments from ignition and hold until flight. And the 'fix' is simply adjusting the tolerance parameters for ignition and hold release.
His comment about the design / construction / testing phases has been: Detailed engineering meets real world conditions, and a whole lot of 'rocket science' has been applied to the construction and testing phases - that of changing things on the fly to make the engines work in the real world.
Thanks for the information on the gimbal control. I was looking everywhere to no avail.
It'll be interesting to learn what they determine the issue to be and the final fix. Certainly real world meets the best engineering has always been a problem. lol
