tricopter

Long story short, I had a $600 budget. Now I have $200 and no multirotor. If your wondering how that happened please read the story below. To start off I'd like to confess I know very little about multirotors, I've only been flying and scratch building about three or four months now and thats...

I was wondering if anyone has made a tricopter using a naza-H as the controller. I just upgraded one of my quads to a nazaM lite and I like the features. having the same for my tricopter would be cool. If anyone knows if this has been done or if its impossible pls reply

Hi All, I've been in the hobby for a year now and really enjoying it. I've been doing lots with small quads and foam wings and etc. Nobody around here is doing much with FPV or aerial photography. I'm thinking of getting a good basic tricopter that would have enough power to carry a basic 2...

I'm mostly done building one of David's Tricopters and one of the things that still isn't very clear to me is the thought process that goes into prop selection for a particular motor/battery setup. It might become clear when I fly the tricopter and experiment with different props. For...

I've been doing a half flip & half roll with my FT Bloody Wonder and thought it would be cool if I could do something similar with my tricopter. I practiced a while on my simulator at home but performing it in real life was quite different! This evening, I met up with MidwestRob for some...

Hey all. I've built a tricopter based on David's fine instructions, and finally received the props I've been waiting on. The board is the HobbyKing Multi-Rotor Control Board V2.1 (Atmega168PA), the motors are DT750 Brushless Outrunner 750kv and the props are 10x4.5 SF Props. Radio is Orange...

So i have built a Tricopter. I like it, but my problem is that sometimes when i am flying, it does not fly stable and starts teetering slowly and violently. I have played with the P and I gains and limits but i dont see any change as I add or subtract numbers 10 at a time. It flys well when im...

Hello all! My first post on Flitetest forums! I just got into flying multirotors and decided to start with a tricopter. (And I'm starting to realize that starting with a tricopter may not have been the best of ideas..) I've managed to scour the web and various RC forums to be able to get my...

I am having an issue where the tricopter drifts in one direction. I trim that out and it flies ok for about 5 secs. Then it will start to drift again that direction. Again trim it out and the same happens. Until full trim is reached. Also, it will be one direction one time a different direction...

I made my first FPV flight yesterday with the Mickeys FPV V3 that was reviewed by flitetest. It flies great but since i didn't have an OSD I only stayed withing 300 feet but for me that was a good enough first try, I did not want to press my luch and have my first flight end up with a lost...

So, I have clocked in less than an hour of flight time on my tricopter, and I decided to do some night flying.....(such a newb). I added some LED's to it and I had an absolute blast. Assembling the LED's was difficult. The strips I got left very little space for soldering and the wires kept...

Hello :D I have a love/hate relationship going on with my Talon Tricopter. I've got it flying, tuned in etc. etc. and it seems to not have a problem until... After a bit of hovering I move off slowly for some out and back type circuits (in the fairly tight area I have been testing in behind...

I tried to modify the tricopter base to make it a bit wider. It just looked to me like a king cobra, hence its name. Thingiverse link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:263378

This is my 3D printable take of the Super Simple Gimbal top plate for FPV cameras. The thingiverse file is available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:260611 Can anyone who is already using the gimbal suggest changes to this design? I am currently in the process of testing this gimbal...

Hey everyone. It's great to be getting started on these forums. I am glad to consider myself part of the community. First off, I am a total newbie at RC. Just started building my tricopter from Flitetest back during Christmas. I have had many successes and failures, but I am loving every...

For my first tricopter I was thinking of going with the KK2.1 board, but I really want the benefits of a GPS enabled controller. I stumbled across the Multiwii Pro 2.0 from ready to fly quads and it looks great. For only 60 bucks it comes with GPS. They also say it is ready to fly out of the...

Hi everyone, So I've built my first tricopter (FT Batbone) and have taken CPO's zip tie idea and created a gopro camera tray mount. All good so far and I'm just practicing flying. In the future I would like to attach a gimbal so I've been researching. The Flitetest motor mounts don't give...

I've got a tricopter built off of David's 2.6HV setup with a KK2. My objective is to get to a FPV setup soon. After around 20 flight I've noticed getting it to hover without drift is difficult. I'm not in an area with lots of space so that can be a problem at times. I've seen a few DJI...

I've been through 5 tricopters: Hall Studio SimpleCopter - CRASHED Hall Studio SimpleCopter (modified frame) - CRASHED FliteTest AnyCopter - CRASHED / DESTROYED Wooden FliteTest Batbones - CRACKED FRAME Hall Studio SimpleCopter 2.0 - CURRENTLY IN USE I thought it was time to try a...
