Mechanical
Motor and propellers have arrived.
Manufacturing started last week. The progress so far:
All plates for the frame have been waterjet
Finished few stand-offs for the frame + 1 wing-spar
Plan for this weekend:
Waterjet the landing gear and a motor mount
Finish the second wing spar and tail boom (should be achievable this Saturday)
Empennage design complete, balsa sheets, and wooden dowels need to be procured (that’ll happen this week)
using 2 servos for the elevator, 1 servo for the rudder. They have arrived.
Wing manufacturing timelines
Could we get started on 1 of the wings this weekend since the spar is done? - Smile
Nathaniel:
Been busy with some school stuff recently but the only thing blocking wings are the ailerons
We could manufacture some ribs and 3d prints for the spacers but assembling should be held off
Will order more balsa
Avionics/EE updates
What is readiness of all of the following boards!
6S Servo module

Redundant 5v buck

single servo driver
firmware stuff?
do we want LED controller Rev 4 on this?
more details on wiring the airframe
do we have all the components needed?
Jerry Tian for interest in creating harness diagrams
is there a diagram for this + locations on the airframe?
Will select an Eclipse EE pm at the start of next term, might gauge interest soon.
