tricopter

I've just completed a tricopter build and I am wondering what I should set my radio to, Heli v. Acro and what StickSet Mode I should use? Any help would be appreciated. Specs: i86L Flight Controller Plush 40A ESC's AX-2810Q-750KV motors Turing 9X radio

I have converted my Tricopter to a Quad so do not need the original three wood arms with included servo. I will ship for FREE to seriously interested party (only with in USA). Luck, Vince

Hello! I am looking forward building my first tricopter that i can be proud of! Any advice and tips are welcome! I am pretty new to this kind of stuff but I'm willing to learn and hopefully make quality work! Still looking around and trying to find right parts for my build, so I'm turning here...

Im looking to upgrade from my 3s RoboCat 270 build, but I'm not sure on what frame to get. I'm planning to get new motors and escs too. Can someone list the pros and cons of each? Which frame is better for what? Has anyone used any of the frames? Especially the mini tricopter, is it any good...

Hi there, i had my first real flight with my tricopter (RC Explorer) today and it was for the start pretty good. The only problem ist that the tri is moving back if am in the air - (in the direction of the one rotor) Dont know how to describe it better: l l l...

Hi there, i use a kk mini and Afro 20 Amp ESCs for my tricopter. I calibrated the esc manuallly over the reveiver but the motors are not spinning when i connect them to the kk2 board. The receiver test shows that every sinal comes in wright. If i now pull the throttle up, the motors are not...

I recently bought two Turnigy Plush 18a escs to replace some that I burned out on my tricopter. I put them on and noticed that they were smaller than the other one. The new ones were version 4.3, while the old one was version 3.1. I turned it on and the 3.1 started smoking and melted half the...

Hi there, i got a strange issue. If i connect my kk2 mini board from pin thr,v+ and ground to channel 3 of my receiver the board goes off (or maybe just the screen - not sure). Have you got an idea what i have done wrong here? thr is connected to signal, v+ to power and gnd to ground. If i...

Hi there, i am trying to flash my KK2 Mini with the latest Steveis version but its not working yet. I am not sure if i plugin the connector in the right direction. I searched on the internet on how the update connector of the board is labeled but couldn find any information. I am using a...

Flite Test electrohub with everything you need to build your first quacopter and more I caught the bug for racing drones so need to free up some space and let go of my larger multi rotor stuff. Here is what the package includes 6 2212 960 KV motors from ready to fly quads 6 20 amp...

I'm a newb on this forum, though I've lurked quite a bit, looking for, and often finding great info. I do both fixed wing and multicopters with my son. I'm more comfortable with airplanes. My 14 year old son is comfortable with either, and has much better thumbs than I have. Maybe because I...

VTOL with Tricopter and Blunt Nose Versa The plans for the two were overlaid. The tilt mechanism on the front motors would be a real complicated deal with the "Y" configuration... So, I changed it to a "T" copter and lengthened the rear boom to accommodate the positioning changes. In the...

Hi there, i've been watching flitetest videos on youtube for years, and have enjoyed flying quad copters and rc helis when i had the chance, now after flying other peoples MultiRotors for years i want to make my own. Now ive had a few ideas and although i'm no stranger to electronics and...

I am just going to start by this is my first post on flitetest and I love it so much and thank you ahead of time. This is my first ever multi rotor build, first time ever soldiering and first ever computer controlled radio. I picked up the dragonfly kit and matched motor and esc is a naze32...

I made myself a Titan tricopter with a vector flight controller. It flies quite fine and steady but with a few issues. It constantly wants to drift to the right and a little forward and trimming does not seem to help. I have recalibrate multiple times as well so kinda at a lost now.

Dear Community, It has been a while since my last visit here (2012), but finally I found/made the time to get into multirotors. Beginning where I left off: http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?1837-wich-one-should-I-choose-tri-or-quad. I decided I first build an tri-copter and after I...

I recently crashed a Fortis Airframes TITAN Tricopter and the frame is completely broken. All the electronics still work fine so i want to use them to build a mini quadcoter for fpv racing. But I don't have enough money to buy a whole new set of electronics. So my issue is I don't know if the...

the cowls are for 90mm fans and each it rotated by a micro servo in the "wrist". the tail is also set up to put a servo for rudder movement. the fuselage can hold a 6S lipo along with a kk2 and a gimbal in the nose. the hole for the dome is 3in. if anyone has any better ideas please comment and...

Hi, I got the Tricopter V3 kit, From David Windestål a while ago. Been troubling shooting but just can’t win with this one. The tail rotor lifts faster than the other two rotors. I have checked center of gravity. Does this in both normal take off and auto level.I have set all settings to the...
