Notes on manufacturing status.
Airframe
Wing
landing gear
landing gear adapter arrived and safely stored in the red toolchest
Has to be assembled and mounted to the air frame
Empennage
horizontal and vertical stabilizers complete
control surfaces printed, and linkages made as well
Only left to glue the vertical stabilizer to the horizontal stabilizer and test the servos for control surface deflection
Tested the control surface deflection, seems all good https://discord.com/channels/776618956638388305/1288305741932924973/1336472328229490698
Servo temperature issue
will the servo going on to eclipse work under 0 C?
Aileron servo: HS-311 Servo - ServoCity®, rated for -20 to 60 C
2.5kg Goteck Metal Gear Micro Servo - RobotShop ← servo bought for empennage
Rated for -20 C to 60 C
Important to be careful just because manufacture says it’s rated for those temperatures that may not always be the case, there’s no warranties or anything, we have to test to confirm they work. Same like how cheap servos don’t always provide the max torque that the manufacturer claims.
Pixhawk 6X Autopilot Flight Controller – Holybro Store ← pixhawk operating temp -25 to 85 C. Shouldn’t fly below -20?
Everything Mech is in last drawer in the red toolbox.
flagpoles are on 1st row on mech shelf
Avionics/EE updates
6s Servo Module
efs
ee
need 1 good board for eclipse
6s power module (EFS)
Single servo driver
ee
needs 2
efs
code dev work is done?
24-5V buck
ee
is this ready to fly (fully validated) ?
EE connectors are ordered, don’t think it arrived yet.
Timeline
Eclipse Strapdown Test: March 1st/2nd
Eclipse Maiden Flight Test: March 8th/9th
another foam plane?
Pilot Training - Foam Plane
Crashed right after the throw ggs
ee to order servos that are rated for -30C https://ca.robotshop.com/products/dfrobot-micro-servo-motor
we used same prop as houston, see data highlighted in red below
should we calibrate ESC beforehand? if so how to calibrate?
