Journal — built in the open

The wins and the struggles.

What flew, what broke, what we figured out. Dated, sourced, unfiltered — it is the price of trust.

8 July 2026 WIN Tap test: the culprit is the mount.An A/B hammer test finally locates the resonator: the compliance of the battery mount. We know what to stiffen. 3 July 2026 WIN While the hardware rests: the platform.A software sprint: a single organic-motion engine, the MaxFly network in simulation, a safety supervisor, a dashboard, an app. 27 June 2026 SETBACK The battery sings at ~15.8 Hz.840 grams hanging that go into resonance with the structure. Rigid rebuild, the frequency shifts, but the fight goes on. 26 June 2026 SETBACK It flies again — then falls four meters.Rigid rebuild, first real hovers. That same evening, a mistimed throttle punch, panic, throttle cut at 4 m. 24 June 2026 SETBACK First flight, first crash: a motor came off.Around 10am, the first take-off. A motor detaches in flight — screws torqued without threadlocker. Throttle cut in time. 20 June 2026 WIN Assembled. And it holds the air, on the bench.End of exams, first assembly. Powered up without smoke, GPS locked, bench validated A to E.
