Day 16 of 30
Finally got to get some build time in today, Tonight I'm uploading all the coding I have done, installing all the 3d printed parts and then any luck tomorrow I'll be able to do a surface check and then balancing. Goal is to fly it this springbreak

Day 15 of 30
So for today's progress, i didn't get as much build time as I wanted due to midterms and spring break. But I was able to finish up some 3d modeling and have my printer working over time. Next week with spring break I'll get alot done quickly

Day 14 of 30
Still another day of not even being home to work on the believer. But I was able to get some photos slash videos of helping to fellow students with there builds for Capstone projects. Videos to come as soon as I crop out all the dead space parts.

Day 13 of 30
I haven't been able to get any work done. on the build its self due to midterms and obligations to students. To get everything done before spring break. But brain storming some ideas for 3d modeling some parts and add ons

@Ruth4170 yeah I looked it up. Magic smoke is a slang term for electronic mishaps and burning electronics

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 9 of 30: Jumped back in to my build and crossed a wire some where. Magic Smoke escaped (Shorted something and electric fried a part) Spending the rest of tonight taking things apart and finding what I have to replace/fix

Day 11 of 30:

Still trouble shooting the telemetry. Forced to look up some YouTube videos and switching things out. Might take as brake and plug in Surfaces and see about getting tuned in with out a remote link.

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 10 of 30: aircraft coded, now just working on getting a remote uplink so it can talk over a distance. Setting telemetry

Day 8 of 30: So Im officially jumping in the deep end with this build and doing frists. Been looking at some Augmented Reality glasses for a while. They just came into today so build progress is to redesign some things to integrate them in today. #digme406 #AugmentedReality

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 7 of 30: Unfortunately I'm forced to take a brake in my build today. Just doing some research on how to fix the errors I caused. This is my frist V-tail and my frist dual motor aircraft. Its Learning Experience #digme406

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 6 of 30: Took a step away from boring coding to unbox a new part for all my aircraft a new transmitter/controller. I'll maiden this when I maiden my aircraft (FRSky FS-i10 transmiter) #DIGME406

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 5 of 30: installing the brains. (Programming the flight board.) Ahhhh coding, a important and time consuming process for any build. May take a few days. Then plugging it all in and making sure it works #digme406

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

@billgx I ment to say "first" fly

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

30 day challenge day 1: I'm going to build and trust fly a new aircraft I bought over winter break. Coming in this week but doing a layout of the electrics that are going into it today and tomorrow #digme406

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 4 of 30 challenge, Believer aircraft now has a nervous system. (All wired up). Next comes the brains (flight board) and then smarts (programming) hopefully middle of next week. For a system check. #digme406

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 3 of 30 challenge, Aircraft in and assembed, no classes today allowed for alot of build time. #digme406

[Cliff @Cliff62405612]

Day 2 of 30 challenge. Setting up the electronics for the new Air Craft tomorrow is the big build and brains #digme406
