tricopter

Hi, I made a tricopter following David Windestal's design. But instead of using a HobbyKing board like he suggested I used a kk 5.5 blackboard with Tricopter V2.9 XXcontrol KR by Minsoo Kim firmware. I have gotten it to fly, but am still having trouble making it hover and over all control. Would...

My tricopter is using Sunnysky 1400kv motors with 8045 props, a 2200 mAh battery, and 13" booms. It's a titan tricopter with the company's recommended setup for macro flying. I'm new to flying multi rotors and the way it is now the controls are very touchy. I can fly it pretty well with the...

Hey Guys, I am pretty new to multirotor. I built up a tricopter based on batbones frame with the following KK2 board 20 Amp Multistar ESC Turnigy Park 300 1080kv 9x4.7 plastic props (9047) 2200 MAh battery 3S Orange RX GoPro Hero 3 Immersion RC tx w/ mushroom I have probably 20 flights on...

I'm planning a Bat Bone Tricopter build and wanted to see what you think about my electronics design. I am using the PixHawk flight control because it fits in some other plans I have for this tricopter and potentially another multicopter. I have found precious little quality pinouts and drawings...

So, after tons of trial and error to see what features worked and didn't work for me, i have come up with this as my daily driver. I started out with a SK450 frame and quickly moved to a custom wooden H frame that was way too heavy. I figured i would take a shot at trying to build a tricopter...

I am having trouble with my new tricopter build every time I put the throttle on one motor starts before all the others and it flips over I think I might need better esc s or a power distribution board please help

I have recently built a tricopter that has been flying well in stability mode until the past couple short flights. It now constantly turns to the left (yaw axis) now and I can still control it but I have to correct for left spin. I am using the APM 2.5 (hobbyking version) with an external...

Hey guys and gals! I've been flying for a couple of years and am into flying FPV. Well over the summer I got this idea to create a, what I thought was, a different kind of video. So I decided to make a weekly vlog of me just flying my tricopter and responding to what people say or want to know...

Hi all, I am planning to buy an esc for my tricopter setup. What is the purpose of programming an esc? I am cost effective .and is it really necessary that I should necessarily buy a programming card to program my esc for my model? help plzzz...:confused:

does anyone know how to calibrate esc's for a tri

I am new to the community of flight test and I am building a tricoper I am having problems because the engines start at different times and make the tricopter flip on take off. I am using kk 2 and no power distribution board

Hey FT. *I am reposting this thread to this section under recommendation under one of the moderators.* I have a problem and I am hoping you can help me out. (I am not sure this is the right forum topic for this issue, but it is slightly related to customer support). I have been in the hobby...

I need some help with my Bat Bone tricopter. This is one of my 1st builds and I'm new to most of this. I can't get it to hover or fly straight up and down. I'm not sure if I missed something small or it's the settings. Is it something with the ESC or just vibration? I did the ACC calibration on...

I am having trouble with my kk2 board every time I boot it up it says that a different motor has "no signal" and it wont let me arm it

Hey all, Has anyone used these motors? http://www.buddyrc.com/sunnysky-v3508-20-580kv.html If you have bought these motors, what props are you using, what is the AUW of your copter? Have you used any other KV ratings of these motors? I currently have a ~1.7kg tricopter on 4S with DT750's...

I was just on rcexplorer.se, when I noticed that there is a V3 Tricopter coming out in a few weeks. I wanted to see if there was a discussion about this already on the forum and there WASN'T. I was so shocked that I typed this up. It's pretty typical of David's tri frame (AKA AMAZING), but he...

Hi everyone! I am having some issues with my tricopter that I built recently, when I'm flying the tri one of the motors will stall for a second then come back on. It does this randomly when it's flying and has not resulted in a crash yet. The set up is David's Tricopter Design with Afro 30amp...

Hello, so i've built davids tricopter 2.65, but with a 3s battery(2800mah,30c). The problem is, when I arm my tricopter I need to apply ~3/4 of throttle to get in even moving from the ground, but when it lifts (~1cm) it just goes forward and to the left and almost flips, without me touching...

I don't know a whole lot about servos but I'm learning! I started out with this $5 servo on my tricopter and it lasted about 10 flights before the internal plastic gear stripped out. No real hard landings and i can't point out anything that would have stripped it that quickly. From what i have...

Right, so I am posting this about my latest tricopter build, based loosely off the great Windestål's design. Firstly I will say that I am 15, live in the UK, and am currently having my summer holiday. This build was completed to a massive budget, and in my mind was mostly an upgrade. I know this...
