    • Peggy validation flight for W25 was successful. Flew well and same as last term

    • Goal was to test KML sending over MavLink on Peggy → not complete

      • Issues with Pi and temperature/weather that caused this test to not be successful

      • Autonomy to get houston and pegasus Pi’s at the same state and LABEL the sd cards

        • Peggy is set up to only display to vtx while houston displays only to hdmi output

    • Tuning airframe had two flights that will allow logs to be analyzed for more adjustments @Manasva Katyal

      • One flight with figure 8s for MAGFit compass calibration

      • Another flight with all axes movements for FFT filter calibration

Task 1

  • Autonomy Updates:

    • MAVLink KML messages

  • EFS tuning airframe

    • next steps:

      • Is pretty much done its tuning cycle

      • Would just need to do a final performance evaluation flight and look at step response graphs

      • Can then start the process on Peggy 2

Task 2

  • Tank is being assembled

    • Need to ground test soon, will need EE help

Other

  • How ready are we for comp?

  • Backup plans

Flight Test Planning

  • Thoughts on Friday flight tests?

    • Would work better with my (@Evan Janakievski) schedule for March for at least 2 flight tests

    • Would want to make sure all comp attendees onsite could attend

  • Need to reschedule Autonomy KML mavlink message flight test

  • Look over asana dates and adjust/make updates
