No, two units with the same dimensions are not always equivalent. Take stress and pressure. Both have units of (Force/Area). However, stress a consequence of a point force being applied to a surface; whilst pressure is a consequence of forces exerting itself evenly in every direction along a...
Hrm. In that case, wouldn't you have to set up boundary conditions? I.E. set reasonable limits as to which answers "make sense" and which do not. From a pure mathematics POV, yeah, the answers you choose would be arbitrary answers because there will be other, perfectly good answers that you...
I think so. I mean I need to have all the avionics to fit in the RC, right? So I'm more or less have to design it so that it'll have a hollow fuselage to store the Arduino and battery.
Yes, as a matter of fact I've used balsa wood to construct fins for a rocket assignment. Balsa is rather delicate and I've broken a few flaps here and there so I am somewhat familiar with the tolerances on it.
As for the priority of this RC, I was thinking of focusing on control...
Whoa. I did not know something like Monokote exist. That solves a problem I hadn't even thought of.
What I'm thinking is that I'll use balsa wood in this project (my first one) to get my foot in the door as far as experience goes and when I become more "seasoned" I'll move onto the more...
Yeah I figured as much. Thank you for the link anyhow. I think I will just build it out of "everyday" materials and hope for the best. I'm not really looking to prototype the next UAV for the DoD or anything; just to mess around with electronics and test theory with real life practice. Bottom...
ME is a great choice IMO. I'm an AE major but a majority of the classes I have to take more or less correlates to ME as well. I suggest you establish (or re-establish) a strong college algebra (algebra 2) foundation. A lot of things in the "higher" math courses require strong familiarity with...
Not exactly haha. I'm as blind as bat atm. I'm trying to get a sense as to how to start it since I've never done something like this before. It'll be my hobby project/pseudo senior project that I'll be committing myself to for the next year or so. Basically I'm trying to apply what I've learned...
Hello. I am a 3rd year Aerospace Engineering major and I am set out to build my own RC plane from the ground up. My biggest concern now is to find a manufacturer that will custom built the plane parts from a CAD model. Does anyone know of companies that are willing to do that? I've tried...
I've read the forum rules where it says that graphical/violent content cannot be posted on the forum and I completely understand that. That being said, I will post this in hopes that someone out there can help me resolve an argument that my friends and I have been having ever since we came...
