Group Blog

In this section, we will transition and redistribute team members to new groups, update the blogs, and assess the quality of the handoff.

Update Group Blog Access

Develop three new groups of equal size.

Work with instructors to update access to the

Verify that you have access to the correct group blog and update (or add) the team member names. * Do not delete previous team member names; just add a new section for spring 2026 team members.

Assess Group Blog

Take 15 minutes to review your new team blog and answer the following questions:

Group 1 Comments - Lucas Toppe, Hunter Hall, Ryan Pirro, Nolan Lach, Maddie Baker

What did the prior group do exceptionally well that your team would like to continue?

The fuselage is assembled correctly and mostly stable; additionally, the fuselage hatch covers and plastic adapters were very flush with the body (good thing👍). Latching hooks and servo fixings are also installed well on both side wings. The right side wing also has an ESC d-sub connector properly soldered and oriented/routed. One motor has mount connected already. Finally, their Lab 12 documentation of steps is really great. They articulated what was done and provided some really good pictures to go along with. They also included the right wing D-sub pin layout. The DAXT controller was also able to be connected and work correctly.

What did the prior group do poorly that your team will improve upon moving forward?

Minimal splitting between the glued halves found on the fwd part of the fuselage.

What gaps can you identify in the blog that your team will need to work to fill in? (wiring diagrams, parts list, etc.)

Wooden Motor mounts will have to be taken out of right and left wing. Remove current pitot tube and attach carbon fiber pitot tube. They mentioned that they were missing one screw base, they still need to attach this.

Is this a document that you would find sufficient to pass off in the workplace? Could someone easily pick up where the prior team left off?

Yes, the use of photos and listing of each action is very similar to the website we referenced to. Therefore, it would be easy to compare the two and pick up right where they started. This would be sufficient to pass off, but still a lot of work is to be done. HAHAHAHAHA

Punch List

Now that the product has been handed off to a new team, it’s important to understand exactly what needs to be done to complete the build. In this section, you will create a punch list outlining exactly what remains to be completed before your team is ready to perform a ground test in

punch list⁠

is a document that outlines the final tasks or repairs that must be completed before the product is accepted by the client and payment is made. This term is common in both construction and manufacturing. Often, the punch list is created by the final quality assurance inspector or equivalent as the project nears completion, but before the work crew moves offsite or onto a new project.

In the space below, create a punch list for the aircraft now assigned to your group. You may format the punch list however you wish, but it must be clear and complete and include an assessment of:

Work yet to be completed

Rework items/repairs

Inventory shortages

Missing documentation (refer to

)

Expected time to complete outstanding tasks

Verification on the cube

Version number and code
