tricopter

So I just recently got the mutlirotor itch. This is my second attempt at building a Tricopter. I originally put together a Batbone but flew it promptly into a building destroying both front motor mounts... lesson learned:black_eyed:. So the Electrohub kit just came out and I thought I would give...

I got into this miniquad-only mind set about 6 months ago. Today I saw my tricopter sitting on top of the shelf where it has been since my FPV250 first arrived at my house. I decided to take it out for a quick flight. It is about 550mm and I forgot how powerful 1300kv motors were with 8x4...

I've been trying NOT to want a multirotor ever since starting in this hobby but space is so limited where I live and it makes it hard for me to stick to my flying wings and get any kind of flight time so I'm going to start a slow build of a tricopter. I have always built cheap but strong so...

I'm starting up another build and I'm going to attempt my first tricopter. Seeing David tri is probably one of the first thing that got me thinking about multi's but the using servo's scared me since I've never even really thought about them until I got into all this. Recently I just randomly...

Here is our video for the beginning of Summer. We are flying a Quadcopter with parts from FliteTest's H-Quad Build and the Tricopter is designed by the gorgeous David Windestäl. We hope this gets you in the Summer Mood!! Thanks for watching and Subscribe for more Aerial Videography. Both...

If you're looking for a quick and cheap way to build a tilt mechanism for your tricopter, here's one that I came up with that might interest you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZerXxwRcrg hope this helps! -jeff

Hello Flitetest community After a minor crash with my tricopter it seems to generate way less CW torque than the FC expects, making the tri spin CCW. To compensate, I have to bring the tail rotor in a position where it's sligtly tilted to the left rather than being tilted significantly to the...

I built a anycopter, tricpter, with kk2 V1.2 when I use the ruder it loses alt of it altitude! I guess I have to change the parameter on mixing chanels but I´m not confident where to fix it.

I am running an almost stock batbone tricopter the only changes are the escs to 30 amp ( just what was in stock at the time) and 8 4.5 props instead of the recommended 8 4 props. (again what was in stock at the time). after flying for a few minutes the motors will get hot to the touch, sometimes...

Hey everyone. I just got the Flip 1.5 board from RTF quads. I got it for my tricopter rotorbones and ordered it flashed for a tricopter. I have it hooked up, the motors work; but the tail servo does not move when I give rudder. When I initially turn on the tricopter, the tail servo moves...

Can anyone help, I recently got a tricopter frame, built it up added some old motors and 30am escs. The frame came with a nice metal rutter. I purchased a metal servo. Put it all together dialed it in no problem. BUT now when I give it throttle to lift the servo tilts without input. I have...

This is my first rc project. I was inspired by flightest Bat bone frame. I wander if somebody also makes their frames forom alluminium or other sheet metal. This frame survived about 10 hard falls on Concrete before i had to replace tail, yaw mehanism is the first one i made for this model.

Hi all, I'm very new to the RC community and I need some advice. This question has probably been asked before but I couldn't find it with a search so here we go. I am interested in joining the RC hobby, but I'm unsure whether to start with fixed wing aircraft or multirotors. My budget is...

I've spent close to 100 hours trying to get my FT Bat Bone tricopter flying. I've burnt a DF13 connector and an ESC, and broke one of the arms off and it still hasn't left the ground. While I've been flying and scratch building rc planes a few years, this is my first 'copter', and I'm in over...

Not too long ago I watched a video via Youtube, where a user flew his R/C aircraft with FPV to 5k meters. In seeing this my father asked the question could using small solar panels help augment battery drain you system power? With the help of some electrical wizardry could you at least in theory...

:( Hi everyone I built the david's tricopter and when I increase the throttle 3rd motor ( motor arm with servo) Always come up and flip the tricopter. also sometimes the yaw servo wont come to its default position when i let go the rudder.This is not always the same and this happens in...

Well it was only a matter of time before I started wanted to try a multi rotor design. Really once the guys released the air to air video I knew I was in trouble. So here we go. Based off David Windestal's Tricopter (2.5 and 2.6 design) I have a FT original tricopter frame but decided to...

Hey guys so this is my first build and I am basing it on Davids tricopter build. I got a Multiwii from hobby king and I am confused on how to make it so it knows it's a tri not a quad. I have the Multiwii GUI but I seems I need something else because there are no options in the software to...

Hello, I am tired of my dt750's and I want to upgrade but I can't decide between the sunnysky v2216 8 or 900kv and the Turnigy multistar 2216 800kv. What motor should I chose?
