As a young man I use to memorise a list of all the tasks I needed to undertake for the coming week. As the week progressed, I would tick off completed tasks in my mind and add others, it was an on going process. By the time I reached weekend, I was ready with the next weeks list and I would start all over again.
These days I struggle to remember the simplest of things. I might have a task in mind, which requires me to go upstairs to the bedroom. By the time I have climbed the stairs and reached the landing, I can't remember why I went upstairs in the first place.
If your like me, then you probably reached the stage of writing your lists down these days or you save them on a phone or computer. Its a joke in my house that I constantly have lists on the go for everything.
So to my post:
I thought it would be interesting to list just my planned RC jobs and projects, for each week on a post and see how they progress. More importantly, how many I can get completed and ticked off before the next week commences.
So here goes - Weekend commencing 4th of December.
Task 1. Commence updating the Firmware on my FRsky X6R and X8R receivers - I have a mixed collection of Firmware versions on the same style of receiver. I prefer to have them all identical, so each model is operating with the same firmware on the transmitter. These are some of the versions in use: Version 1, Version 2, LBT and FCC.
Stage 1 - Make up a firmware upgrade lead. I can carry out the update through the TX16s but need a dedicated lead.
Stage 2 - List all my X series receivers in use, and which firmware version they use at present.
Stage 3 - Populate an Excel spreadsheet with the status of each Receiver.
Stage 4 - Copy the latest Firmware version to my TX16s transmitter SD card.
Stage 5 - Carry out an initial test on a selected receiver, to confirm the process works.
Stage 6 - Update each receiver sequentially, then modify the transmitter info for each model that uses these receivers.
Task 2. Test fly the modified 3ch Tiny Trainer, using the 700mAh 3S battery. If the flights successful, fabricate a plastic canopy to cover the battery and improve the aerodynamics.
Task 3. Commence repair and upgrade of the cowl for Edge 540. Develop a means of retaining the cowl in place, but with a detachable option rather than fixed.
Task 4. Re-align and secure the motor for the Edge 540, eliminate any down thrust associated with the previous powerpod repair.
There you have it, 4 RC related tasks to complete. Hopefully, as the week progresses I can stay focused and provide regular updates on the progress, completion or any delays.
Please feel free to use the post and add your list own list of tasks/jobs and projects for the coming week.
