Need to select a pilot and start training regiment
Simulator time and initially
foam planes should be pushed for whoever is up for thiswith no autopilot that work well should be built
practice line of sight flying mostly
Daniel Puratich has deassigned pilot for maiden role because POR seems to be maiden flight during W25 when I will be offsite.
what do we want to do with the fixed wing before comp 2025?
Maybe a bit early to be asking the question, but I guess if we're pushing to get maiden done is the reason just to ensure we can all focus on peggy 2 leading up to comp or is it because we wanna try to make more changes and improvements on it before vtol stuff?
I am really hoping with the fixed wing we can discover most of the problems/challenges with it just being on the ground.
Airfoil will be the big one we cant test on the ground i guess eh?
Maiden flight should prolly include an autotune imo. Integrating autonomy system seems excessive.
All electronics are for sure ground testable (hence me pushing for a copper bird type setup now).
The strapdown test will be nice here to prove out the power train
