So I decided I wanted to do a SpaceX related project. Being a SpaceX fan for a few year now, I decided to go for the Falcon 9 inspired look on my build. I'm referring to 'inspired' because i took some general proportion from the Falcon 9 rocket but had to make a lot of changes to get the "rocket" functional on the scale I was intending to build it. The "rocket" has a deployable landing gear, thrust vecrtor control unit and uses a 6s 80mm 12 blade fan capable of 2.5 kg of thrust. The thrust vector controll unit is being controlled by a Pixhawk X4 running Ardupilot V4.0.4 which is configured as a single copter. I'm essentially building a single copter in the shape of a rocket.

All my latest projects and files can now be found here: https://bbprojects.technology I'm charging a small fee to cover the cost of the website, enjoy! I'm a maker. I design and create my own projects and build them from scratch. My favorite tools are my 3D-printer and laser cutter. I own a 3D printer since 2014 and still use it almost every day. I like to design 3D models and sometimes also animate it. Besides 3D printing and modeling I also like aviation a lot. I fly RC drones, helicopters and planes.
