![Lessons Learned - MZ • Plane Design is v. HARD • Planes are expensive Lessons Learned - MZ • Plane Design is v. HARD • Planes are expensive](http://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/24bf50d1af1eba793fc43ad6223764cf/image-22.jpg)
Lessons Learned - MZ • Plane Design is v. HARD • Planes are expensive • Hand prop launch may not be best launch method • Hollow CF tubes are not as durable as expected • H-Tail is not a survivable/durable design • Design of model aircraft vs. full scale
![Moving Forward - MZ • Purchase new speed controller • 3 D print control Moving Forward - MZ • Purchase new speed controller • 3 D print control](http://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h2/24bf50d1af1eba793fc43ad6223764cf/image-23.jpg)
Moving Forward - MZ • Purchase new speed controller • 3 D print control surfaces (lightweight/rigid) • Remove material from motor mount plates to allow for more airflow • Winch/launch system design • 2 nd wheel for tail stability • Snuggy design changes
