    FPV Night Vision Camera?

    I'm looking to buy a light weight but high quality night vision camera to fly with an FPV setup on a tricopter as a gift. I've been googling and going through the forums but I think I'm just confusing myself. Any suggestions would be very very appreciated. Thanks!

    prop saver on a tri?

    Was watching some video on youtube and saw a tricopter with prop-savers on it. I am wondering, never having seen that before, are they useful on multi-rotors? or even advisable? Foo

    Just ordered all the parts for my new Tricopter, using David's V2.6 design. Eventually I'll be heading into aerial video and FPV using a GoPro. And I also love the goggles for screens. Any thoughts on set-ups available in the UK?

    Tri Copter Prop Confusion

    Hi Guys i am a little confused. I sort of fell out with the whole tri copter thing a while back as i did not understand why oh why my creation would not fly.
