• 2023-11-12 Flight Tests

• 2023-11-11 Flight Tests

  • Anni did cool test cards for this one!

• Lots of things weren’t setup before this flight test!

• Pegasus Bullet Connectors

  • Some bullet connectors failed pre light pull tests

    • Solder connection is still fine but the wire is breaking?

      • We should inspect further to see if the wire is breaking

    • May be worth reflowing all of them?

      • There’s a lot of them

    • Should ping in more EE people who were there during assembly

      • @Nathan Green @Neel Patel @Taim Al-Dabbagh

      • see if there are more info on how assembly went

    • Crimping instead of soldering

      • PP45s may not fit in the tubes, too large for the tubes possibly

      • If MT30 is in the tube the PP45s could go on the outside

      • ESCs are reversible, could do MT30s on both sides?

        • may be software reversible, always hardware solder bridge reversible

  • Some of insulation rubbed off on tubes in arms

    • looks like the M5 threads rubbed against it

    • could add Teflon tape on the threads

      • should be an easy fix

    • shoulder bolts

      • would require custom ones to work for our application

      • may be worth looking in to but unlikely

    • Can we test for these being an issue in advance?

    • Issue could be due to when inserting bolts or sliding wires and not in flight issue-

  • Recommend Service Level Inspection once a month - continue flying once fix is in

  • bolts are coated with black oxide

  • Wires are currently the exact length they need to be (ideal for weight?)

    • may be under tension when connected on both ends is pulling wires closer to bolts. Could be part of the issue.

    • leaving more slack will make things easier

  • Could cut into pwr cable

    • three conductors

    • may be worth looking in to

Open

• We should be uploading flight logs and linking in debrief

  • controller and ardu

  • elrs should run off telem port to get logs

  • For Nov 11th the logs somehow got wiped off the SD card

•  

• @Anthony Luo

• AEAC Townhall #1, whoever is attending and representing us fill this out: Doodle Townhall

  • two or three people

  • @Daniel Puratich to deal with this

• @Conall Kingshott @Nathan Green @Jonathan Di Giorgio

• Clamping leg blocks have been installed on the drone

• @Alison Thompson @Evan Janakievski @Georgia Vachon Westerlund

• Rev one is done on PDM and working on being manufactured

  • need to order resin and CF from Composites Canada.

  • ran out of resin on battery shrouds layup

  • Alison emailing with Graeme on this with what we need to buy and what we can use from composites room

    • may need to buy other stuffs from Composites Canada

• Working on fleshing out tasks for integrating doors and windows, etc.

  • for next rev of Cabin

  • initially no doors, no windows, just to test flight characteristics

  • Graeme said good to use router for Cabin layups
