Summary

Date of Test	April 8, 2017
Participants	Steve Bauchanan, Serj Babayan, Mark Dunk
Minutes Flown (plane)	N/A
Minutes Flown (quad)	22 min

Objectives

Tested out Becky. Attitude and rate control seemed to work fine. Quad stabilizes at all thrust levels
Yaw is insensitive and overshoots. Steve had to rely on the tape alone
Did a battery duration test. Flew the quad for 15 minutes. Battery went from 98% to 14%. Might have to attach a second one for competition

Adjust yaw PID gains so that they're sensible
Re-built test rig for quad so that we can go at higher throttle values safely without toppling over and breaking props (as we did already)
Build test rig with the ability to test the yaw of the quad
Estimate the required flight time of the quad during competition. Need to time the quad to determine max speed, and how fast we think we can cover the required area
- Ideally we only want to use one battery
- The battery test that was performed was a simple hover. Should do more battery tests when performing maneuvers (such as going forward as fast as possible) and see how much actual flight time we'll have
