Hi guys,
So I've flown my tricopter for quite some time and had much fun doing it, but I think I hit the limit of what this rather large machine can do in terms of "acro-flying" or "racing". I'm not borisb or charpu, but I like to fly fast and do some tricks here and there, and the tricopter is wobbling and the yaw feels not right when doing quick directional changes or throttle punch-outs. Some things can be fixed with the changes that the community made to Cleanflight for David Windestals new mini tricopter and a retuning of my PIDs, but I don't think I'll get my mini-tri as stable as I would want to.
Long story short: I'd really like a miniquad (and probably lengthen the arms of my tri so I can use it like more of a AP machine).
I don't want to spend a fortune, so I will not buy a 120€ frame of some sorts, but I do want to spend some money to get quality motors/ESCs and so on.
I do want to ask the community what motors to buy and so on, but the first question that I want to ask is what size frame I shoud buy. I know this depends on what flying I want to do and the person flying, but I don't want to buy a 250 sized frame now, just to learn that the main part of the community has moved to 180 5 months later.
So question to you all:
What sized frame would you want to buy, if you would like to build a new miniquad for acro flying and racing?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
