Finish up stability of the aircraft

13. Next Week
Control surface sizing

14. Propulsion- SAE
Have attached the tuned pipe more suited for our propeller size and got 18.5K RPM with an 11x4 prop.
Continued to break in the engine for roughly another 40 minutes.

15. Propulsion Continue Breaking in the engine (80 more minutes)
Fuel Tank Testing

16. D&M

17. Last Week Did some layups for the fuselage prototype
Turned out awesome!

18. This Week Put the final touches on the fuselage model
We will make the omax waterjet files tomorrow
If we have time (I doubt it) we will start working on the wings

19. Next Week
We will submit the water jet files to Richard by Monday, and then we hope, pray, and make sacrifices to the SDELC Gods that we get the parts cut by the end of next week.
If we get them cut in time, we will start building.
If not (pretty likely) we will work on the wings

20. Fuselage Specs
Overall Weight (including propulsion and electronics): 4.1 lbs
^ THAT’S .9 LBS BELOW OUR GOAL!!!!!
Static margin between 15-20%
6oz fuel tank
Approximately $ for fuselage structure (not bad?)

21. More specs Weight carriage that uses our old tungsten
Sand bag is just a tad longer than last year
Uses one door (like last year)
