Successfully made the cabin (only skeleton and aeropanels)!
NEED A BETTER WAY TO ASSEMBLE (without having to assemble with the drone)
Ability to assemble the cabin together THEN mount to the drone
Front and Back aeropanels do not completely line up with the side panels
Must fill the gap
Make aeropanels curved
Aeropanel mounting holes did not line up properly so Evan Janakievski and I had to drill holes in the aeropanels to align with the mounts
Possible solutions:
Consider the bending and extra layer of carbon fiber for the holes on the mounts
Mounts can be redesigned with slot holes and use hex nuts instead of heat inserts
Barbie does fit into the cabin but we will have to test with seats soon!

Notes from meeting between PMs:
How's the sim going?
Made some progress, but I do not think I will have a full complete understanding of them until way after, so design decisions won’t be too influenced by it
As of right now I believe Georgia’s panels are sufficient. The only change I would adjust is maybe if the curve starts at the bottom of the x-frame then slopes, rather than being sloped in the middle.
Look over the door of the cabin and how it'll be integrated (my Solidworks is kind of being weird lately so I haven't been able to open it, but I'll try again today)
Still having issues using PDM today, wifi is not good at dorm
Stair design (in the doors)
With more room we could integrate stairs or try to advertise the door as an accessible ramp. With a wider and taller cabin we would have a better chance of fitting stairs, but with how the door opens, the ramp may be the best solution
Windows (maybe integrated in the doors too) ~ I'll work on this and get a CAD finished today
Meeting checks:
Check Seats (is a prototype printed?)
contacted during AEAC so just awaiting response if we are good to print or if he is free to get that done
Cargo update (check how it's going and if we can get a prototype printed soon)
Wallace changed PCs i think so he may be just getting to changes.
Assembly of cabin to be accessible then attached:
Can try to use the squares on the bottom of the cabin as attachment points.
Not sure how we could have things snap into those slots, but it would be a cool way to have it be able to be taken of quickly and easily.

This is an image from my skeleton page just to show. The red dots are not what I was talking about, just old markups.
The other method to attach it is to use other mounting holes then bolting into a sheet along the top with similar mounting method for the aeropanels that have enough thickness to allow the bolt heads for the tubes to be hidden.
