Damage report

It took a while to write this report, obviously no one is too happy to share failures, so let’s make it short.

We’ve spent whole weekend putting things together and ended up having all gimbals and EDFs wired, working and tested. As you can see from following images it’s been a very rainy day on Sunday.

Robin was very kind and helped us with documenting everything including some cool videos.

Initial gimbal test – no power
Gimbal test – full power

I also took few pictures, mainly about all the wiring.

Then we ended up running short of time as it kept raining and I really wanted to do the “taxiing” test, so we removed most of the electronics, wrapped up gimbals, vectors and EDFs and took it to the street to see how it “just goes” to the end of the street and back.

A moment later structure collapsed.

All CF-parts survived nicely, but some more support will be needed, including parts re-printing. See you soon! 🙂
