New technical article. Pre-maiden procedures and tests.
 

Dear all.
I just released a new article in my technical blog.
It is about procedures that can be used to test your model on the ground prior to the maiden.
I hope that this will be helpful...

Holy moly Oli. That is one comprehensive list!

Good to have these lists, bookmarked

Very well thought out and comprehensive! Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
I am glad you find this helpful.

Hi Rich. I do mind that the text content is made available out of my blog. That is mostly because I am working on these articles on a regular basis. This new publication is in its infancy and will be updated significantly very soon. So this pdf will become obsolete within a few days.
Could you please remove the pdf from the forum but replace it with another file that I think will be even more useful to the users?

Very nice Oli thank you for sharing your wisdom!

HI Oli
I thank you as well for this. Very good system to make sure the A-10 has the checks it needs before flying next year.

Love this work Oli. Thank you for posting the article. I appreciate your professional approach to the task of ensuring airworthiness from a testsble and empirical approach before the first flight. I read it with great interest and picked up a few very nice points that I will put into my bag of tricks!

Don't hesitate to call me if you want to apply this to the A10.

Thanks for the kind words Eddie.
Will answer your email tomorrow.

Going by that article the plane is worn out before you even fly it - endurance load testing each servo ?
