K2 Test – Jun 20

6/20/14

Very windy today near Treasure Island. We kited around the north side of the island in a lot of chop, working our way upwind to the city side of the island. The wind died near and south of the Bay Bridge, so we headed home after a relatively short, but exciting, test.

K2 Tow Test – Apr 7

4/7/14

Tow test today to test sensor extensions and modified T-foil. Sensor extensions were not stiff enough. We returned to the shop and stiffened them by bonding half-circular carbon tube to the inside of the sensors with methacrylate, for testing later today. We also practiced shooting video from the quadcopter. Joe’s dad, Jim Brock, joined us on this test.
