Devlog – Day 8

Date: August 5, 2026
Time Worked: 3 hours

Today I continued refining my drone CAD assembly by creating detailed proxy models of the ESC, flight controller, motors, and propellers. Integrating these components into the full assembly gave me a much more accurate representation of the final build and helped verify that everything fits together correctly.

During the assembly process, I identified and corrected several design issues, including screw hole sizing problems and an incompatibility between my planned hardware and the flight controller/ESC stack. I also reinforced key structural areas of the frame while removing unnecessary material in low-stress regions to improve the balance between strength and weight.

Next Steps

• Perform a final review of the complete assembly.
• Create a Demo Video of the build.
• Apply for project funding and order the components.
