Eclipse Wings

Nathaniel Li

• 3D prints ready, 1 PLA print and 1 ABS print

• Laser cutting balsa is ready to be done

  • I’ve prepared the DWG for the ribs, someone just needs to put it on a USB and bring the balsa to the RPC to get it cut

  • Can I get someone who’d like to do this? I’ll message you with detailed instructions

  • Let Gabriel Singaraja cook

• Once 3d prints and balsa are cut, assembling can start!

  • If possible, this can be done at the next work session

Eclipse Fuselage

Sohee Yoon

• The frames for the fuselage have been drawn out. So for I will be cutting out the frames this weeks work session is anyone interested in cutting out the frames?

  Or if anyone doesn’t have much to do at the work session they're welcome to cut out the frames

  and finishing the fuselage.

  • I’ll cut out the spar cut to test the fit

Landing gear:

/ Evan Janakievski

• Updates from Rohaan

• Ordered a servo adapter for the rear landing gear, if you are on-site and see it in the Bay please place it in the last drawer of the red tool chest

  • Likely to arrive early next week

• Landing gear updates from past work session

  • One part was not water jet before break, so it will need to be made in the machine shop with the bandsaw and a drill

    • If anyone wants to attempt this I will be finishing the drawing and can walk you through what I was thinking
      Interested: Smita

  • The front landing gear needs the holes for the wheels to be widened as the incorrect size was modeled.

  • Will be ready to go latest Feb 1st/2nd weekend
