Camera Works!!

Yesterday the camera was set up and able to get an image on the computer which was very exciting!! We are moving along with the telemetry system! Below is a picture of the screen showing the camera image!

Today we wired the inner wing and set up all of the connections necessary before the inner wing component is monokoted! We had to cut out small holes in the ribs for the wires to go through more directly in order to use less wire! 

We submitted our Technical Report!!

We submitted our technical report to competition today!! It is a limit of 30 pages describing the plane as a whole with innovations and design integrations between different components! We are very excited to have finished our first component for competition!

For the report we had to assemble the whole plane to have accurate measurements of the plane! The assembled plane is shown below!!

 

Wiring the tail

Last Friday Christine completed the landing gear machining!

Chris and Alison got the chance to wire the tail on Monday and then Chris was able to monokote the stabilizers!

Wiring the Tail

Olivia spent a lot of Monday sanding the front of the middle wing! She was able to attach all of the pieces of the wing to the fuselage!
