Today we started off class by going over our Kinematics Problems 3 homework that was assigned over the weekend. After checking the homework, Coats-Haan showed our class a cartoon about Neutrinos that had some of us laughing. We then proceeded by flying our model airplanes, that we had so carefully built in class on Friday, and recorded our results on page 33 of the lab manuals. Some airplane flights were successful, while others resulted in broken planes. Katie proved that the damaged planes could indeed be fixed with careful taping, and in the end they once again took flight. After flying the planes, our groups met back up in Coats-Haan's room and turned in our completed labs. There was no homework assigned for tonight!
Question of the Day: Which control surface controls which axis of motion on your plane? The rudder controls the yaw, the ailerons control the roll, and the elevators control the pitch.
