Early March Updates

Flight test 2, once the new propellers arrived the team began another flight test. This flight test was conducted using the radio controller instead of the custom Bluetooth controller. However, the drone began drifting when a strong gust of wind pushed the drone off-course. While trying to course-correct the drone crashed

After the crash, the team met to discuss how best to move forward. A damage report and failure analysis were done on the flight test to determine how the drone crashed, what could have been done to prevent a crash, and what improvements to make moving forward. A list of damaged components, their price, and their lead times were created to determine the cost of re-building the drone.

In the end the team decided to rebuild the drone for the symposium but have the CV and the battery swap functional for the demo at the end of the week.
