K-9 TVC Hopper Test Vehicle (Flying Rocket Hardware Testbed)

This is our new carbon fiber frame TVC software/hardware Test-bed! It's fully modular and expandable, with higher survivability than any of our previous vehicles. Design inspired by Masten Space System's XOMBIE vehicle. This vehicle will run tethered and non-tethered flights. Now you can print your one too! Expand and fly this flying testbed with whatever experiments you want! Its unique modular design enables it to quickly support different missions, and in the case of a failure (Sadly it does happen), It's modular design makes it super easy to repair!

You will need some 7 mm diameter carbon fiber arrows, m2.5 mm screws, M3.5 or M 4 screws, an eye bolt, zip ties, epoxy, 3d printed components, and your own avionics and experiments to fly aboard!

Print out 2 of the A pieces and two of the B pieces for the basic setup, more if you want to make the hopper larger. You will also need to print the TVC gimbal which can be found here: 

All A and B panels strap onto the 4 carbon fiber rods with zip ties. Landing legs are attached via epoxy glue for better stiffness.
