Assign Task1
Work on the tail of Fanwing.

Compare actual work done to Task1
Over the weekend, I worked on the blueprint of the whole Fanwing. Using 123 D Autodesk is although easy form Google Sketch Up, but it still take time and effort to understand it and be good at it. Although my model does not exactly look like to what it should like, but we can get the idea from it. I also worked on the tail last week and I am almost done with it.

Assign Task2
During the weeks, I am going to take a look at where the motor for Fanwing should be placed and where it would work best.

Compare actual work done to Task2
The motor will be placed at the compartment that we are going to build in the body of the Fanwing.

Assign Task3
Now that we have the concept where the motor should be placed, we will start working on the placement of motor.

Compare actual work done to Task3
Last week, we decided to use a new body for our Fanwing. Last body was not fulfilling the purpose of flying, and it was lacking center of gravity. That probably was the biggest reason we decided to use a different body. So we decided to use the same cage and put it on a different body.

During the week, i worked on putting all the pieces together, to wrap up the project. Although we were not able to finish up the project. I still learned lot of things about flying and the ways we can make things fly.
