| 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: 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 Image AddedImage Added Andrew Wright @justin ** ADD TO CONFLUENCE >< @sohee wing midsections printed! thank you Andrew Wright Stiffener for Battery Compartment - Hrishik Patel 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 Avionics bay - Conall Kingshott composites room for any fiberglass and carbon fiber (CF). 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 )
painted, looks done! nice! not attached to CF plate yet, thinking of epoxy-ing this down
CV camera mount - Arjun Mandair 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 // ** 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/YuchenAndy 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: |
| 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 | | composites room for any fiberglass and carbon fiber (CF). PLEASE be safe lol. these are carcinogens don’t do this if you don’t feel safe! paint room for spray paint! |
