Hi everyone,

Given we currently have 10 weekends (likely 7 with good weather) until the
OBC, I've developed a plan to make use of our time. It's a series of
parallel plans divided up between team members:

These tasks don't show the usual hardware/software development, which is
assumed to be ongoing.

July:

Finish off Bushmaster build and fitout with all equipment, including Camera,
all radios and bottle drop (Jack, Tridge)

Initial Operational ground station tests - network, antenna tracker,
multiple laptops (Chris, Stephen, Matt, Tridge)

Complete Deliverable 3 (Stephen, Darrell, rest of team as required)

Buy CB radio equipment for Pilot <-> Ground Station comms (?)

Build/buy spares of critical Bushmaster parts (Jack, others as required)

Buy label printer and TV for GCS (Stephen, Tridge)

August:

Recondition the Porter for use as a test aircraft in September (Tridge,
Grant)

Ensure backup pilots are proficient with flying the Bushmaster (Jack, Chris,
Grant)

Perform at least one all-up OBC scenario  with the Bushmaster (everyone)

Complete ground station build (Chris, Stephen, Matt)

Build spares of critical Bushmaster parts (Jack, others as required)

Build/buy spares of critical GCS parts (Stephen, others as required)

September:

No flights of the Bushmaster. Use the Porter for large-scale test flights

Perform at least one all-up OBC scenario  with the Porter (everyone)

Sort out logistics (vehicles) of travelling to Kingaroy (Stephen, everyone
else as required)

Please let me know if I've forgotten anything!

Stephen
