Meeting Scope
Track state of new Cornflakes airframe post previous flight test
Identify and update deliverables, owners for each subteam for flight test next weekend
Look into long-term flight test planning (general flow of what we would like to ideally test)
Other Concerns
Cutoff for when we can’t run competition frame at competition
Only need one test to validate the frame, cool to take risk from PIC perspective (Anthony)
Very little odds that we’ll use this frame again in next comp cycle - more likely to damage electronics on Cornflakes than Icarus
Only use Cornflakes if Icarus is crashed extremely badly before comp (can’t be fixed)
Fly it at least once before comp
