Improvements
Target additions before AEAC 2025 CONOPs
Pegasus 2 airframe is being built to this specifications. Once we get Pegasus 2 working we will retrofit some of the
Avionics cover
Harness optimizations
Wire AWG and length optimizations
Connector Optimizations
single MT30 for the phase leads instead of an extra connector as was done on peggy 1.
Landing gear changes
Gemini development
Ensure all components have non-scuffed (no tape/zip ties) to drone
Video System Cleanup
Video Antenna Mounting (without tape)

RPI 5 Mount MT30s used on the phase leads. One on ESC side, straight harness down the arm, one on the motor side.
Using the ESC reversal pads to flip ESC directions
Using the
Landing gear optimizations
trying to increase rigidy and keep a known good failure point
Ensure electronics are mounted properly
Use of zipties and tape is permissible as long as it is robust.
Lots of components are getting nicer mounts.
Maintaining
Improve system diagram and theory of operation document.
Targeting usage for next year’s competition
need to wait for CONOPs to lock it in though because it could be extremely biased toward fixed wing which is arguably more fun then quad?
