Isn't that one of these "wind tunnels"?

Yes. They mention at the end of the video the Copenhagen Air Experience.

They have to top the excitement from NEXO 1 delivered in some way.
I wonder where they got that tank, at first glance 20 liter is not exactly common. (As carbon, in steel it is.)
From the video:
Nexo 2 will use jet vanes once more.
Modular design, by sections.
"Clear the tower,
then start steering."
No more prepressurized tanks, adding a 20 liter 300 bar helium tank. ~20kg for the COPV tank itself. Independent dynamic pressure regulation for fuel and LOX, they need to be ~1 bar apart.
O/F ratio at 1.3
Not a constant tank pressure, constant injector/chamber pressure. Same fuel and oxidizer flow at all times.
Exiting times, this starts to look like a real pressure fed rocket.
Lets hope for more launch and less anti ship missile this time.

Thrust Vectoring Gimbal:
Also answers for someone, why to cumbersome (overkill) electric-hydraulic design vs. pure electric one.
(Scalability...)

They clearly have been posting pictures and videos on social media recently, building parts for the Nexø II vehicle. They have gotten great publicity. I may have missed it, but are they going to try to launch this summer still?

That is still the goal. Look like they'll launch in August. [

Wow. Worth noting that Madsen isn't involved with Copenhagen Suborbitals any more... but that's sad news.

Peter Madsen has now been charged with involuntary manslaughter. He had a journalist on the sub earlier the night of the sinking. He claims he let her off safely, then continued on his own, then the sub sank. He abandoned the sub just before it sank. That was Thursday. She has not been seen since. The sub has been recovered, but authorities have not yet entered it.
About spaceflight, the New York Times claims:
Mr. Madsen had planned three launches this summer in preparation for a possible space mission in 2019 with only himself onboard.

UC3 nor Madsen hasn't been part of Copenhagen Suborbitals more than three years. But sadly media seems not to get it.

If its like any other scandinavian murder mystery, it's only going the get more gruesome from here onwards...
I think its important to remember that no-one is guilty before a trial. Having said that, it now seems that Madsen has changed his story as to when he let the journalist off the boat (we don't know the new version as it has not been made public), sourced from here:

I agree with the sentiment about not jumping to conclusions. But, that's not really an accurate representation of the "presumed innocent" idea.
As soon as a crime is committed, the perpetrator is guilty. It's just that in many cases few people know it. Until a verdict is reached, the legal system does not claim the person is guilty or not guilty. That only happens when a verdict is reached. What "presumed innocent" means is that if the evidence isn't clear one way or another, the verdict is to be not guilty.
Also, the fact that the legal system makes a determination one way or another doesn't mean that everyone is required to agree with that decision, or to hold off judgement until that decision happens. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and to express that opinion.
As the OJ Simpson example shows, it's even possible for one part of the legal system (the criminal justice system) to hold someone not guilty while another part (the civil justice system) holds that same person responsible for the very same crime.
