Changing Mech Parameters
Standardizing to metric system to avoid conversion
~1.1kg battery weight, 6S power system
motor is selected
Everything else is up to mech entirely
Wingspan of ~1.2 to ~1.4 meters is too short for 5kg ?
New target
How much does the making it a VTOL matter?
The idea of this program is get good at fixed wing first and foremost.
Glider vs Sport
these are very very different
aspect ratio relation to wing loading
Frame
wait for electronics placement
upgrading saladworks solidworks will be a CAD blocker
Pilot Training
first flight test is too far
more foam plane building to practice
meter stick wingspar
make pilot mistakes before we get to expensive plane
PCB Projects
6S power module: just starting
6S servo module: not started
12S servo module: needs testing
ZP3 Flight Interface: One is ready for EFS handoff
