So, still trying to figure out how to make a buildable set of Falcon landing legs (rest of the F9 v1.1 seems OK, could use some more greebles for camera housings, thrusters for control of the flyback booster, etc.). I think the shape is doable by laminating the edge beams around a mandrel - 1" PVC for choice.
But, need some research help. How many landing legs is Elon going to use? Grasshopper shows four, drawings are non-specific but seem to indicate 4. However. I initially drew up three because three is the minimum needed and I don't know why you'd put extra stuff/weight on a rocket.
Anybody have the definitive answer?
