During the Easter holidays, we had some pieces shaped with a lathe in the workshop at the mechanical engineering department, other pieces were 3D printed in FabLab and then there was one piece we lasered with the same laser cutter we used before for the cargo bay.
This week we assembled some small components of the aircraft, like the wheels for the landing gear. We drilled a hole in the middle parts of the wheels -which were also 3D printed at FabLab- to put the bearings in.
Next we put together the propeller and the spinner and then put it on our AXI Gold motor.
Finally we made a piece to link the front wheel of the landing gear to the cargo bay. As you can see in the first picture, this was the result of the immense man power of the boys in our team :)
