Next Flight Test

@Nathan Green

• Pegasus will be flown on the 12th to test the video system after rewiring

• Checking for interference issues

• Testing auto landing on Houston if possible

• Same flight test plan as last week’s test that was postponed

Work Session This Weekend

@Alison Thompson

• Continue arm connectors

  • @Conall Kingshott @Smile Khatri @Ben Lovegrove @Merek Lohnes Any of you have time to work on some of these during the week since there’s not normally machines on Saturdays?

• New landing gear?

New Mech Lead

@Alison Thompson

Congrats @Smile Khatri

Pegasus 2

@Alison Thompson

• New landing gear CAD was grinded though after last meeting

• Will review prototype CAD once it is fixed to be accessible

Seats

@Nathan Green

• Progress on the simplified seats?

Antenna Tracker

@Arjun Mandair

Current State

• Spoke with @Yuchen Lin, said EFS will not be ready for testing until after next flight test.

• Currently working alongside @Justin Liu on Aluminum Yaw Servo Mount. Great work and visuals!

  • Currently, this is the implementation.

  • Utilize countersunk holes to avoid tripod interference.

  • Not too sure if we have these? Could use counterbore holes instead?

  • Preference for Red or Green Configuration? Is red possible for manufacturing?

Current Implementation - Green

Current Implementation - Red

Next Steps

• Will manufacture Servo Backholder and Mount simultaneously once new aluminum mounts are verified.

• Will update Aluminum Yaw Servo Mount after this meeting with review.

• @Justin Liu Once CAD design is approved, you may create the DXFs and edit the assembly. Again, great work!

Cargo Compartment

@Evan Janakievski

• Cargo Compartment is in its final stages and we will want to print soon to test. Good job @Wallace Lee

• Seats are being worked on and currently being lightened and simplified by @Billy Karantzoulis

• Door is under a change in design by @Divit Gawri

• The redesigned mounting bracket I designed for the top, using the original threaded hole for its original purpose. Dimensions will be adjusted to accommodate other items such as the door and the aeropanels

More mass can be cut off of these. Just rough design for now as a placeholder

• Aeropanels are also being redesigned right now

  • Going to go with normal layup and pressure hold them in shape, easier to manufacture like this compared to a mold

Houston Landing Gear

@Sam Wong

@Agapa Goombs

• Modifications to existing CAD is complete.

• Increased the angle of landing legs while decreasing the length of each leg → reduced total height and increased bottom footprint with a slight decrease in weight

• To Do

  • Final CAD Review

  • Update drawings → drawing for bottom plate
