Competition Frame updates

Conall Kingshott

Megan Spee

Infonote

GOAL IS TO HAVE ICARUS WORKABLE BY THIS MON APRIL 3

this didn’t exactly happen

**Everything is now urgent. If you can’t complete it, you need to tell me so I can re-delegate it

Stiffener mount:
- Hrishik Patel need updates. If this is done, the file needs to be sent for printing

Front support bar:

Fuselage Skin:
- Andrew Wright Updates?

  • velcro in place, fuselage skin still needs work

  • Dremel part of this skin on weekend Conall Kingshott

  • see #mech-bounties for a list of things to dremel. Please add things to this list if:

    • the piece is carbon fiber on ICARUS

    • it interferes with anything on the frame

  • Alison Thompson to drive fuselage skin

Tail - vert stabilizers Andrew Wright
- Design ready to go, needs to be built**

Fuselage skin - Alison Thompson / Conall Kingshott

Avionics bay - Conall Kingshott

Landing gear - Alison Thompson

Fits well, stiffener cross-bar definitely needed. Updates? What do we need done

  • test these, make sure it all fits, then print the other 2 if goes well

  • waiting on right length bolts - Andrew Wright to follow up on bolts for pickup soon

    Nose/tail - Andrew Wright

    • Coat the nose cone and tail cone with epoxytesting went well? for weatherproofing?

    Bay door - Vishal Jayakumar

    • We need a connection to the frame urgently

    • glue and epoxy testing occurring

    • begin hinges

      connected to door (thumbs up)

    Motor Mounts - Andrew Wright

    , Vishal Jayakumar
    • exists in cad, revise and print

    • clear any interference - mark things for dremeling

    Motor Mounts:

    • This is my (Conall Kingshott ) fault for taking so long or ordering bolts. They will be ordered right after this meeting and I will deal with assembling them last minute.

    • Andrew Wright If these haven’t been printed because of lack of testing, print what you’ve got so far and we’ll make it work.

    not quite as urgent -

    • Done

    Passenger Cabin Seats/ Interior - Sohee Yoon , Luke Johnston

    Looking for more people to work on this!

    • Prelim cad

    • pull up the photos?

      • think about how this will be printed

      • sohee is onsite, luke is not, theraband will need to be cut and chairs will be printed. prototype prints should be upcoming mid-this week

    Other electronics mounting (slightly less urgent)

    • FPV camera for nose cone - Megan Spee

      • cad done, prototype printed, needs to be printed in CF and mounted to nose. awaiting final nose cone coating/assessment

    • Sensor stack @ bottom of fuselage - Megan Spee

      • WIP

    • Airspeed sensor mount to nose cone - Megan Spee

      • cad done, prototype printed, needs to be printed in CF and mounted to nose. awaiting final nose cone coating/assessment

    • ESC cases - Megan Spee , Nathan Green discuss this in icarus sync

      • printed prototype, test fit?

    • RFD900x case - Andrew Wright

      • prototype design, print soon

    • VTX case - Andrew Wright

      • to be designedprototype design, print soon

    Go to the icarus syncs (TUES 9pm) to stay up-to-date cross subteam

    the mechanical issue with the icarus/ cornflakes model

    The push prop doesn’t have enough untampered airflow

    cornflakes was not able to generate enough forwards thrust to successfully transition to fixed-wing flight on weekend

    Flight tests and comp simulations

    Megan Speelets not crash x3

    there is mech work to do, come grind icarus (thumbs up)

    Tracking antenna

    Megan Spee Andy Zhang Jason Li

    Updates

  • Designing a static antenna

  • dimensioning things in the bay - based off of current tripod mounts in the bay

  • VTX tower mostly finished Jason Li (thumbs up)

  • telemetry tower to be completed

  • need to 3D print these parts @ RPC, RPC laser cut base plate

    3D print queue (smile)
