K-9 TVC Hopper Test Vehicle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- After the anomaly of the TVC Test vehicle, this is our new carbon fiber frame TVC software/hardware Test-bed! It's fully modular and expandable, with a 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.

GOT IT! Nawwwwwiccccce! 😁👍
Nice work Yukon! Will be great to see it’s first hover 🚀
Daaaaaaaaaaang that thing looks clean! Nice work man!
Thanks so much! Can't wait to see what big projects guys will be working on in 2020!
I have a obsession with carbon fiber
did you just like your own comment?
@@francisstapp1583 Yes I did lol. I always like my own comments
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies lol
if u looking for a crew member, i'm in :D
Nice Cainine! Can't wait to see it fly!
Thanks!
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see this hop!
Thanks!
I’m so excited!
Thanks! Glad you are!
Awesome video CRT! I cannot wait to see this baby fly!!
Thanks! Me too! I can't wait to light some big motors in this!
Looks really great, cant wait to see it flies 😁
Thanks!
Wow looking great !
Looking forward to the hopp!
Thanks!
Looking forward to it's first hop.
Thank you! I can't wait either!
Oh man i love it! very Sprite like too
Thank you! Yes It was a total coincidence! I started work on this and when I saw Sprite for the first time I was amazed at how accidentally similar they both were especially the use of carbonf fiber rods
very nice
Hey Francis my Man!
Next video: We used adamantium to make nose cone.
Nice video BTW.
Hahah lol I can see your a fan of exotic materials like me
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies of course. But y'all print with PLA or ABS? Probably ABS would be better in this case.
ABS creates toxic fumes and PLA is superior in many ways. Try PETG or PEEK
@@pretinhobasico6539 my standard is PLA because it's cheap and easy to print with. I want to use ABS in the future but after I build a fume extractor for my 3d printer. Currently the strongest plastic I use at CRT is PETG like Delta mentioned. PETG is alright, though is a bit flexible
really cool
What is the mechanism for the tvc? I am going to start high school in a few months and I want to expand my rocketry knowledge and maybe start the hobby any tips for starting off?
That's cool! The TVC consists of 3d printed parts and 2 servos, with a few screws, linkage stoppers, and servo rods. I'm new myself and I don't know what to suggest really, but I personally started out by replicating other people's projects
So, does it work? Can it hop and land?
Haha kind of. It failed the first tethered flight. I actually currently working (Spoiler alert) on upgrading this to electric propulsion
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies Cool, I wish you guys would show more of the tests. I know you don't want to look bad, but even Space X fails along the way. RUclipsrs are so overly critical which sucks. People love to see the journey. Why do you believe it failed? Good luck. I love what you guys are doing!
@@Jason-gt2kx Haha thanks. No I don't have a problem with showing failure and I've shown the footage before. Its actually in some future upcoming videos
What kind of boards are you using for your projects? Have they got GPS and wifi?
No GPS yet, but the camera module does have WiFi to transmit it, though it's limited to about 20 meters or so
Oops didn't have notifications set to all. So how will you control the hop? Will you follow a thrust curve, add some mass, then the beginning spike of thrust will take it off the ground, but the average thrust provides a TWR of just less than 1? I look forward to this!
Yup exactly! A very gentle boost up as as the thrust averages out, it would come down, well at least in theory. I definitely won't get it right on the first try, and this vehicle is meant to be used for variety of other tests in the future!
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies A motor like the Apogee E6 would be great for this, and you could test the method of gimbaling the motor very fast to "throttle" down the motor, and come down to a controlled landing. It is a shame the Apogee E6/F10 is only available in the US : (
@@theredstonehive Yes that sounds cool! I just got to wait for the weather here to clear up. Oh man I didn't know those are only available here 😓
@@theredstonehive that motor has 37 newtons! This thing is gonna go to the moon with that kind of power!
Also where did you learn to code arduino? Whats the best method of learning it?
I don't know much coding, it's still a work and progress. How I am learning is just figuring it out as I go
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies you dont use tutorials at all? Not even for the basics?
ah yes
the fibers of the carbon
Haha Yes thee chosen material of thy choice
where do you get your carbon fiber tubing?
I can guy from CF tube suppliers, but I get mine from arrows. Same dimensions and far cheaper. Just cut the arrow with a tube cutter
Isn't it going to be really really hard to control with such small moment of inertia ?
I mean I feel like it's way too short
edit 02:06 boi
Yup it is, that's why the flight versions will be much more upgraded hence why this is still just a hopper
Hey can you printout a TVC control if I send you a design file for it?
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking if I offer 3D printing services?
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies Yeah, I don't want to buy a 3D printer ...... yet. So I need "a really cool person" who could print one out for me! 😁
Oh, and what program is everyone using to create the 3D files to print? I see the same views so it must be the same program ..... preferably a "free to me" program! 😁
Does SketchUp have a converter in it? 👀
@@terrywheelock9458 sorry but we do not offer such service because the print schedules are rather congested and backed up even to meet our own demands. However there are many good printing services available online, and most local libraries and schools should offer such service at a reasonable price. The programs previously used were Tinkercad when we were starting out, however currently all work is done in Fusion 360.
@@CanineDefenseTechnologies Fine! Make me sad ..... but I will get over it! 👍😁
Descriptor: *higher, NOT highest.
Oh thanks I am guilty of a lot of Word Crimes. I changed it and also good eye ;)
