• Wing Manufacturing Concerns

  • Evan

    • Depending on challenge of manufacturing the wings, crashes could be very detrimental in having to do repairs

    • Will learn more about MonoKote as we use it more, which will give us a greater understanding of the positives and negatives of this method

    • WatArrow already did a lot of the trial and error and shifted to foam and carbon fiber tube (from meeting Nathaniel Li had with them)

    • If we aren’t able to successfully manufacture the wings using current method, do we want a backup option that could be done?

      • Nathaniel’s thoughts:

        • Having a backup in mind is good, lots to choose from like fabric and foam board so we’d continue using the same ribs

          • Oratex is a fabric with adhesive (apply similarly to MonoKote) but doesn’t shrink as much so manufacturing might be easier

  • Nathaniel

    • Emailed wat arrow to borrow their iron, i believe it is in the bay now but haven’t gotten a chance to go and take a look

      • Keep this in the back shelf against wall right shelf bottom right corner next to / behind the power supplies

      • Trial (after midterms?) using 3 ribs → Do in bay

• Wing design

  • Nathaniel

    • Ailerons

      • 2 designs I will be reviewing

    • LE and TE covers

      • 3d prints will most likely melt when applying MonoKote, looking into a balsa piece instead

    • Tasks for spar weight saving, GPS mounting and pitot tube mounting at mech meeting

Avionics

• Required Boards

  • 6S Servo Module Status

  • Single Servo Driver Status

• Optional Boards Status

  • 6S Power Module

  • Redundant Pixhawk Power Supply

• Firmware Status

  • Have we successfully flashed things with AP_PERIPH?

  • Will the eclipse boards be faced with the PB0 challenges as well?

    • Firmware needs to request changes now if they’re needed.
