BEEFING UP THE CONTROL INTERFACE – June 24, 2020
As we tested all pilot controls to the wings and tail, we found a few areas where we could improve things. While we wait for the motor to come back, Switchblade engineer David Nobles is shown doing a fit-up of a square tube beam that supports the pilot-to-wing controls at the wing root (place the wing and body meet). The existing tube beam was deflecting a small amount, and made the wing controls not as precise as they could be.
