Journal — built in the open

The progress, week after week.

The work done and the progress made, posted as the weeks go: what flew, what broke, what got figured out.

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. 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. June 2026 SETBACK It flies again, falls — and the battery sings at ~15.8 Hz.Serious rebuild, first real hovers, then a four-meter fall. In the logs, the real culprit: 840 grams of battery making the structure sing. 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. 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.
