Prototype:
- Design Phase: Keep plane as a glider to test static margin
- Change scaling to 1/2.5 or 1/3 scale model
- Can build a full-scale prototype to test
- Control surfaces difficult to measure out
- Motors are slightly imbalanced
- Sluggish at low throttle
Changes:
- Weigh all components
- Start manufacturing earlier
- 1/2 scale prototype
- SolidWorks for dxf files
- 3D printing/keep track of filament better
- Find better way to attach push rods to control surface
- 6 bottle configuration probably won’t pursue, weight savings
- Wing planform changes
