Week 8 Update

We have finished a flying physical model for the control. Pictures will be added shortly.

It was noted that the aircraft created too much lift without external weights added to the nose-portion of the model. Testing was held off due to windy conditions and the fact that the Armory was closed. As we get closer to finishing all models, testing will begin, allowing for data collection.

The models were extended to be 24" instead of the 14.4" as seen below. The CAD plans will be updated and posted shortly. Working with the foam continues to be a complicated task, but there has been progress in creating all models needed.
