2023-02-14 ICARUS Sync

Determine scope for flight test this weekend
Discuss tasks breakdown to take Frosted Flakes to an airworthy state, including task breakdown, owner, and deadlines
- Includes the current state of systems and what needs to be done
Determine the scope of Frosted Flakes as a project, and look into where we want this project to go (just an Icarus stand-in, possible comp drone, etc.)
Icarus updates
Frame validation flight test dates

Flight test to be held on February 19th, 2023
Continuation of previous tests to test Frosted Flakes frame and transition to fixed-wing
Validate behaviour on 12S architecture

Subteam	Tasks	Deadlines and Updates	Owner

Subteam	Tasks	Deadlines and Updates	Owner
Mechanical	Level Pixhawk Solution Reprint front motor mounts Build new aft motor mounts Find better back weight Build ‘less jank’ cabin Fix tears in wing and ailerons due to wobbly aft motor	Completed (14 Feb) Blocked by Carbon fibre filament (7 hr print) CADded and will be cut by 15th February, Added more mounting holes Not have motor taped to the horizontal stabilizer, Possibly have battery more aft wrt CofG Less droopy nosecone Will just be taped over Deadline for the above tasks: Thursday, February 16th	@Alison Thompson
Electrical	Redo all wiring and harnessing Resolder ESC datalines Remount Pixhawk in proper fashion Replace PDB to add BEC	Blocked by motor mounts, will begin work by 15th February TBD: Add all wires back on aircraft Finishing some ESC soldering Finish PDB soldering Absolute deadline for the above tasks: Thursday, February 16th	@Nolan Haines
Systems Integration	Perform end-to-end test with RC Link and Ardupilot with motor, servo tests Individual motor test, gauge quality from the noise Test servos/control surface direction Verify motor direction Verify Motor #5 (pusher) Use Tracking Antenna with RFD900s to verify RC Link	Complete by Thursday Night/Friday morning	@Hamza Ali
Flight Test Co-ordinator	Follow pre-flight checklists and evaluate system go/no-go Coordinate flight test logistics Determine flight testing plan	Flight test box and everything ready by Saturday night	@Hardy Yu

Act as a stand-in testing frame for Icarus?
- Test any new technology/component to be tested on Frosted Flakes
- Training aircraft for pilots' stick time
- Insulate from failures/crashes on Icarus
Where do we see this project going as we bringup Icarus?
Feasibility of a second version of Frosted Flakes, developed over 1-2 months to lessen the load but have a backup in order to save 3 weeks in case the frame crashes beyond repair?
- Don’t have the personnel for Frosted Flakes
- Need to focus on Icarus
- Focus on incremental improvements to Frosted Flakes to make it more emulative of Icarus
