Plans for wiring the sensors are being finalized and the rollstop for the model has been built. The sting will be moved into the 40' x 80' wind tunnel on February 16th or 17th. Once the sting is installed the balance will be mounted and calibrated on the sting. The wires coming from all the gages in the balance will be braided and sleeved. Assuming all goes well, the model will be lifted into the test section of the 40x80 wind tunnel on February 19, and prepared for the test.
Actuators are devices designed to create motion.
Last weekend the AIAA Wright Flyer Team came to NASA Ames Research Center to work the actuators that will move the canard, the rudder and make the wings move or twist. That will be a loooooong day. I just have to finish up the one side of the top wing. I was kidding with one of the guys. This will prevent the model from rolling too far.
