During test runs, make sure that everyone is aware of tests beginning and ending to prevent injuries. Always be ready to catch the top structure in case of loss of power or erratic behavior. The main purpose of these runs is to make sure that the structure works as intended, and provides behavior similar to the predicted/calculated behavior.
Precision Testing: Using a leveler (or the app) and taping it to a flat surface on the top structure, we calibrated the 0 degree horizon, and found that the Antenna Pointers worked for 5 degree increments. More information is needed for why it was 5 degrees.
Azimuth Rotation: We found that due to the possibility of the line shearing from excessive rotation in one direction, we only tested for a complete rotation in both directions
Automatic Tracking: A person with the Flight Computer and/or other transmitter devices travel around campus and/or outside of campus to test tracking and accuracy.
