wings are on the cad, and probably will be unchanged from the original design, but now it measures in at over a meter wide (of which 1000mm of it is wing… current take off speed is 7 m/s or bust).

The payload underslung bit has also been given a proper mount, so now it’s a dovetail with some holes for screws to hold it in…. much better for payload swapping, and i can just glue the nose and electronics bay together as one piece

speaking of which, next steps are a minor nose cone redesign, most likely to relocate the camera mount to one of the booms, the edf mount (and possibly the wing servo, im playing with adding in a pulley to let me mount it above the wing), and the tail being designed. tragically the 3-in-1 design is being killed off, now theres two type of control surfaces, pitch/yaw, which is basically the old rudderons at a new angle, and pitch/roll, which will be the center control surface split down the middle. I know that will have piss week authority but given the wings are liable to fold up in anything more than a 30 degree bank i dont think that will be much of a problem… getting it wired properly on the other hand…

also theres another 20 minutes i recorded but lapse bugged and wouldn’t show me my projects to add the time to. Also the first prototype of the quadruped hivemind (tentative name “chudbot”) is half assembled, and will be wired to a random arduino uno i have for walk cycle development and ai integration.
