What work was done Reference and follow your wiring diagram throughout the buildInclude photos of relevant stepsMotor mounts need to be installedThese were assembled but not installed as Ryan was working on soldering the connectors and wasn’t able to finish before the end of the lab period.
Wing spars need to be installedWing spars were installedBattery plate needs to be glued inBattery plate was glued in and Velcro straps for the battery were attached.
FC mount needs to be installedDsub connectors need to be soldered Ryan was actively working on this during lab, he was almost finished with the first half by the time we left.
Wiring needs to be installed and organized.We are waiting for Ryan to finish up his part before we install all of the wiring.

Lab Overview
In lab 1, students swapped aircraft and conducted a peer review of another group’s Believer build. Each group identified defects, concerns, workmanship issues, and positive build practices on one other aircraft and documented their findings.
In this lab, students will return to their own aircraft and use the feedback provided by another group to critically assess their current build status. The goal is to identify deficiencies, understand root causes, and develop a clear corrective plan before continuing further assembly.
Feedback Review
Carefully review the written feedback provided by the other group.
Discuss the comments as a team to ensure everyone understands:
You are expected to take the feedback seriously. Even if you disagree with a comment, you must be able to justify why it is not an issue based on the build instructions, measurements, or aircraft configuration.
For every issue listed, develop a clear corrective plan, including:
If an issue cannot be fully corrected, the group must explain:
No issues were identified by the group that inspected our Believer. No repairs were needed.
The build
Continue the physical build of your Believer and document all work in detail.
Your documentation should clearly reflect
The goal is not just to complete steps, but to ensure the aircraft is being assembled cleanly and deliberately.
Apply the feedback and lessons learned from the peer review to the remainder of the build. The expectation is that build quality improves moving forward and that previously identified issues do not reappear later in the project.
Here is everything that still needs to be completed:
