Notes

Cornflakes

Alison Thompson

  • Rebuilt: frame, wings, cabin, horizontal and vertical stabilizers

  • Need to do: Mount back servos, nosecone, cabin lid, airfoils/wing extensions

  • Things to talk about:

    • Control rods (anyone know how to make them? I struggled to do it)

    • Better control horns (anyone have a good CAD file or can they be purchased with a quick turnaround?)

      • petg trial?

      • @Luke **ADD TO CONFLUENCE + GRABCAD + ASANA ><**

      • Alison Thompson to provide old file

  • Anyone interested in coming in tomorrow to help? Need to pass off to EE ASAP

  • Flight-test on Saturday! Come see Cornflakes fly! (Megan with more details later lol)# Didn’t crash! it looks great!

  • Image Added

    feedback/action items from flight debrief:

    • Need to tighten down motors on angled motor mounts

    • Redesign back tube inserts and print in CF filament (Justin Joseph)

    • Switch nuts to nylock

    • Camera mount for next flight test (get Camera info from Anthony Luo ) Arjun Mandair

Competition Frame updates

Megan Spee

Conall Kingshott

Cabin - skin, main cylinder build Conall Kingshott

  • Tube frame of cabin mostly built - need to replace two 3D printed jointsconnecting stiffeners inside cabin

  • working through cabin integration

    bounties tail stabilizer: see discord, assigned to Andrew Wright

    Image Added

pic of tail

  • angled motor mount via Andrew Wright - cad is done, design is reviewed, up for printing on wednesday-ish

  • Skin is going to attach to foam ribs using velcro (Mostly done )- issues with velcro sticking

  • Will need some holes made for camera and mounting to frame.

Andrew Wright @justin ** ADD TO CONFLUENCE >< @sohee

wing midsections printed! thank you Andrew Wright

Stiffener for Battery Compartment - Hrishik Patel

  • Design done, ready to be printed?

Landing gear - Alison Thompson

  • Mostly assembled, just got new prints done

  • Will be done once Cornflakes is done

  • Going to look into a stabilizer to run horizontally between both sides to stop them from bowing out on impact

  • (this is the same update as last week lol, I will start the stabilizer this week)

Nose/tail - Andrew Wright

  • we have nose and tail

  • CF nose/tail project is continuing tho!

Avionics bay - Conall Kingshott

  • We’re gonna wait on the interface to be done for this. Dremel on fiberglass will be nasty.

(green star) composites room for any fiberglass and carbon fiber (CF).

(green star) PLEASE be safe lol. these are carcinogens

don’t do this if you don’t feel safe!

Bay door - Vishal Jayakumar

  • it’s printed in lightweight PLA, just hasnt been fixed to door.

  • pieces are glued together- looks scuffed from sanding, might be spray painted

  • We need a piece of carbon fiber for this (maybe Andrew Wright )

    • check CAD for size

    • friday

  • painted, looks done! nice!

  • not attached to CF plate yet, thinking of epoxy-ing this down

CV camera mount - Arjun Mandair

  • Printed and done now? ✅

  • Test fit

  • Will need holes in plates for mounting, and skin for visibility.

space between camera, fuselage may change for focus changes. only by a few millimetres according to Xierumeng

Procurement for grommet. forward details to Megan Spee

PETG camera mount printed (smile)
  • add grommets and do a test fit

  • CF holes are drilled thank you Conall Kingshott

  • to upload sketch

//

** Reminders for Comp Frame for General Visibility **

We will need to implement:

  • optical flow sensor on bottom

  • 360-degree-visibility LED lights. must be done in junction with EE

  • forward and downward camera - is this accounted for? - front camera into foam nose cone Megan Spee

  • airspeed sensors need to go on icarus

  • antenna mounting in general

  • arm/disarm switch on the tail - EE junction

Flight tests and comp simulations

Megan Spee

Flight test this saturday March 1118!

via flight test channel - “the plan is to test that cornflakes can fly reliably in a fixed wing configuration, as well as gather some preliminary battery life data.”Let’s not crash! Alison Thompson won’t be around next week!

another flight test March 18

lets not crash x2

Tracking antenna

Megan Spee Andy Zhang Jason Li

How’s this going Mech - Tracking Antenna

(cad sprint, sourcing components. Any pitfalls or open questions)

cad concept was made for EFS/CV

moving CAD to Solidworks

Jason working on PCB mounting

Adding info from google docs to confluence

waiting on components sourcing via EFS/Yuchen
  • Andy Zhang done most of cadding for baseplate/ antenna mounting

  • Jason Li mounts are coming together - communicate w EE

  • Conall reviewed cad, lookin good!

Bounties!

Megan Spee

Conall Kingshott

  • new bounty

    • Angled Competition Drone Motor Mounts - 3 degrees inwards

    • Ryan Chan to offer cad/machining advice

    • front ones are reasonable

    • back ones clamp oddly around tube.

    • there are files grabcad but don’t overwrite these

  • Frame/Fuselage mounting brackets underway Andrew Wright

    Outstanding:

    • cornflakes cabin?

    • Team signWing ribs for cornflakes

    back to weekly meetings!

    Megan Spee

    happy midterm week over for most of you!

    ICARUS synchups - happening on tuesdays weekly, 9pm

    General meetings - thursdays @ 8pm

    you all know this. just a reminder, cause we’ve been off for a while

    omnipresent safety reminder

    (green star) composites room for any fiberglass and carbon fiber (CF).

    (green star) PLEASE be safe lol. these are carcinogens

    don’t do this if you don’t feel safe!
    paint room for spray paint!

    send meeting notes out at the end
