[Canberrauav] Weekend recap Stephen Dade stephen_dade at hotmail.com Sun Sep 16 18:04:28 EST 2012 Hi all, This weekend we starting tuning Jack's Beaver (our backup airframe) for the APM. This is now mostly complete. However the Beaver has some trouble turning left: it will turn right at the correct max roll rate (45 degrees) but it will only turn left at about half this. We've not been able to replicate this behaviour in any other airframe (Pulse40, Mugin). The Beaver works fine in manual mode though. So far, we've not been able to narrow down the issue. We also spent some time assisting the Dickson College team with their Hugin setup and launch mechanism. In other news: Tridge and Jack are most likely heading up to Kingaroy a bit earlier (the Thurs/Fri beforehand) to give us more time to test our equipment. Chris and myself will most likely be going at the same time too. Also, I've created a new version of the flight operations manual: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DFHRkxc3gGBcyfTiQOExvBw9AEWMtcUoMGOO3XF0 1ag/edit -Stephen
