With three weeks left until the design report deadline, progress continues apace!

We recently completed our maple-leaf themed kit plane. The first flight will take place as soon as a suitable location is available. Video is soon to follow!

The kit plane has been a great chance to practice assembling a plane in preparation for our prototype and final design.

Speaking of which, construction of our prototype plane is also under way. We have completed work on the fuselage and will order our electronics this week. Assembly will be finished as soon as they arrive. Our flight simulator is complete as well. We eventually plan to use the simulator to test our radio-control equipment. For now, it is only controlled via keyboard.

Our next major task is to complete the design report. This will involve testing our completed builds and making changes to our final design that will be reflected in the report. Once those changes are finalized and the report is completed, our final build will begin ASAP.

As always, if you are interested in building airplanes and airplane-building-related activities, stop by our weekly meetings at 9 PM in 233 Mudd.
