2023-03-21 ICARUS Sync
Meeting Scope
Track state of new Cornflakes airframe post previous flight test
Identify deliverables and owners for each subteam for flight test next weekend
Look into long-term flight test planning (general flow of what we would like to ideally test)
Other Concerns
Battery returns and new battery purchases in time?
Return label created,
Will competition frame be ready for testing on April 8th?
Procuring new VTX infrastructure
Video Transmitter giving a lot of issues - only takes specific input voltages, damaged very easily
Have placed order for video transmitters coming in, more robust and harder to break
Have one VTX for each frame
Use 5.8 GHz with high quality antennas in case both 1.3 GHz are blown
Cutoff for when we can’t run competition frame at competition
Only need one test to validate the frame, cool to take risk from PIC perspective (Anthony)
Very little odds that we’ll use this frame again in next comp cycle - more likely to damage electronics on Cornflakes than Icarus
Only use Cornflakes if Icarus is crashed extremely badly before comp (can’t be fixed)
Fly it at least once before comp
