Fixed Wing Drone Maiden @ USM Aerospace Discovery Centre

 A success on a single throw.

While on february, its a success to maiden albabird 1100 mm wingspan aircraft from finwing hobby manufacturer.
Equipped with a flight controller and gps, the aircraft that were build by Ziyyad from USM Skyscanner Team managed to maiden fly on a single throw.
With a flight time of 20 minutes, we did get a good result of stabilize and loiter flight mode during the maiden flight. No trim at all.
This is a good point for future aerospace engineer to get on the field and run a the test flight of aircraft that they build from kit. Stabilize and loitering flight modes also tested during that day.
Alhamdulillah. A success for USM and Aerospace Discovery Centre, Universiti Sains Malaysia to have another step guiding students to have a test of flight of a fixed wing drone.
