First Mission: Accomplished!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

-F-9 Team with my treasured lecturer-


Designing and fabricating an aircraft was surely a headache. I have to admit that. Starts from the very scratch, we did assumptions, calculations, analysis and then the drawings so that we have a clear picture of an aircraft-to-be before we proceed with the fabrication. But when you are in the stage of fabrication, then you will realize that how hard it is to ensure that each component functions and performs effectively as you planned. At this point we need to be patient in trial and error, dare to take risk and a lot of testing one by one. There are some loses and we were also cheated by the retailer, but you see, learning from mistakes is always the best curriculum for self-improvement especially when you work in a team.

Alhamdulillah, many hands truly make light work. After the countless effort of working together plus with a consultation of an expert person, we managed to finish it earlier. Nevertheless, the worrying part is the flight test stage whereby we need to ensure that the aircraft could take off, climb, cruise and land accordingly. The first test, it was a failure. Well, it did take off well, climb and cruise but then with the lack of battery power, it fell down and crashed. Ouch…it did hurt himself. So we try to fix it. Even after the front arm was broken, but giving up was not the choice.

There was a silence. You should see our expressions, everyone was worrying and hoping that there’s still a chance. We were pretending and forcing ourselves to put on the fake smile, convincing ourselves not to worry and everything will be okay. After the amendments and the recitation of basmallah, we went for the second test and guess what, mission accomplished, Alhamdulillah. Everyone was contented and relieved. Need I say anything more than Alhamdulillah! Certainly it was with His help and assist that the F-9 aircraft flew successfully. Subhanallah! You should have seen it, up in the sky, F-9 pusher aircraft finally flying happily with the birds chirping around, such an awesome feeling and surrounding. It was surely a fun and enjoyable experience when you had been given a chance to work in this field area. Thank you Allah for everything, thank you.

O Allah, there is nothing easy except what You make easy,
and You make the difficult easy if it be Your Will.




Some components and parts of aircraft to be considered and analyzed.




The control panel and the aircraft



Transmitter control



FYP II Schedule

Next mission: Remaining Mini-Projects, Presentations, Final Exams &
of course Final Year Project of Hot Water Rocket.



Life is too short and time is too precious to be wasted so please make a doa for me and hoping that all of you doing your very best in your work field area. May Allah place us in a place that is good for our dunya and for our akhirah. Ameen. Till then, see you later, InshaAllah.
