As a part of my Statics and Mechanics of Materials class, we designed, laser cut, built, and tested a double plane truss. Our team of four used a truss simulator and Microsoft Excel to design and calculate the maximum load. The truss held 488 lb. MORE

A 1/24 Scale  A-36 Mustang Radio Control Airplane. The A-36 was the ground attack version of the more famous P-51 Mustang. This model was designed in Autodesk Fusion and constructed from 5mm foamboard and tissue paper.

A de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver RC airplane. The Beaver was one of the greatest bush aircraft of all time. This model has a 1.2m wingspan and an all-up weight of 900g. This model is primarily constructed out of Dollar Tree foamboard.

A 3D printed RC car. Designed using Autodesk Fusion. This was a clean sheet redesign of the 1/24 RC car V1 (see below) to resolve some issues and add features. This model uses a LiPo battery to reduce weight and improve battery life. It also had some improvements, such as a ball differential in place of the previous model's solid axle. MORE

A canoe made for my intro to engineering class (The Engineering Profession). Our team of five raced this canoe across the lake at Cedarville University with two paddlers. The canoe itself performed well; however, we finished near the bottom of the leaderboard due to slow paddlers.

A 3D printed RC car designed in Autodesk Fusion.  Powered by 4 AA batteries and a 130-sized brushed motor.

A micro flying wing design. The basic design was created with the help of Autodesk Fusion. The plane was built using Dollar Tree foamboard. The most notable feature is the linkages that connect the servos on the Receiver/ESC brick to the control surfaces. This was necessary for the pusher propeller layout. 

A Python program designed to take a spreadsheet of webpages and check which pages exist. It returns a list of pages that need to be made. It also keeps a database of pages that have been verified as made in order to reduce the time running the program.

An Arduino UNO-based RC watercraft. Performance with the direct drive DC motor and IR receiver was poor. Control was improved with a proper Radio Control Receiver; however, top speed was still limited (read: extremely slow).
