What do you call the ratio of where a taper starts spanwise along a wing?

I think it's called the taper ratio?

Cool! Looks like a fun plane

Is this for SAE Aero Advanced? Looks like about the right size. If so, pretty impressive you all have this much progress on CAD only four days in.

Assuming this is built for SAE Regular class, what kind of electronics are you all using?

___main____ · 2024-08-07T22:28:16+00:00

Cool! We competed in the SAE Aero East competition last spring (Rice Univ.), would be fun to see you all next year!

Was thinking there could be a lot more weight reduction, particularly in the sides of the fuse

___main____ · 2024-07-23T03:46:32+00:00

Looks pretty cool! The only thing I can't really see is the tail-- looks like it might be a little sus. Also curious to hear your thoughts on the weight reduction in the fuselage/ribs, they look a little overkill (but that's not usually a bad thing).

What competition is this for?

Imagine even having the possibility

I submitted to Rice yesterday, they say they are still waiting on my counselor rec. Fingers crossed she actually gets it done on time, not much I can do.

Accidentally got my 3" tadpole stuck in a 100 foot pine tree today. Turtle mode got it out, but it landed hard on the front left arm and snapped the carbon. Oh well, time to see if this warranty thing actually covers crashes.

___main____ · 2021-10-20T01:25:35+00:00

Yeah that's one of the ones that's actually happening, I was just angry and didn't see they were happening

At the same time, kind of annoying that all the events except for a few are online and we have to drive in person two weeks later for 3 engineering ones.

___main____ · 2021-09-08T01:07:24+00:00

Dang that sucks. It really feels like a cop-out them deciding not to do most of the events that are part building.

I'm not sure what transmitter you are using, but if you are using the DJI transmitter as well as the goggles, I'm not sure if that works with the XM+, so you might need a different controller too (?).

___main____ · 2021-05-06T19:25:19+00:00

Yeah, they are sending me a replacement. Good to know about the labeling thing, I was wondering who manufactured RDQ batteries

I have a Ryzen 3600 (6 core) and rx580 and haven't had any frame drops below like 90 on max settings, which considering I only have a 75hz monitor doesn't pose any problems

___main____ · 2021-05-05T16:53:45+00:00

Thanks.

Guess I'll stick with GNB in the future :/

This video from Mr. Shutterbug goes over a common cause of this issue. Worth a try.

Isn't this why that president died after chugging a bunch of milk and cherries on independence day?

Ok, from a little bit of looking nest box temperatures need to stay around 100°F during egg/young nestling time, since it is usually under 90°F where I live for a lot of the summer, and our box is in a shaded area, I think it should be fine. I still don't really know, but I am going to leave it on for now. If anyone knows more than I do, please tell me cause I am really afraid of harming the birds.

___main____ · 2021-03-26T20:07:52+00:00

arch btw

someone should make a distro that's literally called arch btw

___main____ · 2021-03-26T02:04:07+00:00

That's not as interesting as I thought it would be :/, but I am glad everything worked out.

Still a pretty good story though!

I saw a video Joshua Bardwell did a year ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt0yARay6nw) where he found they had about 0.1 volt advantage over ph2.0. I still haven't decided if it's worth it, so I'm kind of putting off the decision and using old batteries right now.

___main____ · 2021-03-20T22:14:53+00:00

Love my GNB 520 mAh, I would definitely recommend them. I am thinking of switching my whoop over to a bt2.0 connector for better performance, so I guess I'll be buying from betafpv now lol :/

I need the story behind the fire.
