🗒️ The Weekly Recap
✈️ Flight Tests:
Vanny SUCCESSFULLY completed auto-tune
Noticed thrust loss on Motor 3 after Battery Failsafe → Investigation ongoing.
This is (not) expected behaviour.
CV Landing pad detection works.
GPS not tested.
📦 New arrivals
HERE RTK GPS Base stations here.
Carbon Fiber tubes here.
✅ Open action items
@Mech to send EE basic X-frame layout so that EE can come up with wiring diagrams/channels.
@Anni to look at static load testing
Conall Kingshott look at talking to bryan about composites

RTK GPS?
Motor 3-phase connectors ✅
MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL INTEGRATION
3-phase connectors decided:
MT-30 for inner-hub-to-tube connector
3.5mm Bullet for end of tube - motor connector.
Battery PDB Distribution 
ELECTRICAL
How are batteries going to be arranged in series/parallel?
How will our board support this layout?
Airside Electrical Layout 
ELECTRICAL MECHANICAL INTEGRATION
Where each component goes needs to be added to the architecture document.
Need selection of proper wire gauges, types, etc.
For Battery connections, 8 AWG can be used to handle 75A continuous (maybe a little lower if stranded)
Stranded likely needed in order to have the required flexibility
For motor connections, each motor draws around 15A (determined when discussing MT-30s)
14 AWG wire (24A) should be enough for ESC connections to PDB
