Good work so far! Take a look at the document I have started around this as well: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gLl3gWRNZi1AlcuE6Df7Wdv8n_CBX9-IVmuACCKamic/

Namely the resource on the bottom where someone has experimented with using USB on a 2 layer PCB and it seems like its not a good idea for lengths over 2.4 inches.

All this being said I think it would be best if we get our hands dirty and try running some experiments ourselves.

Please make your pdf a document on the albertasat google drive, add references to your resources used along, and share it with the cubics software channel, then we can continue exploring this as a team and this issue can be closed :)
