English weather sucks
Hi everyone,
First time posting to the forum!
I plan on building an RCExplorer style tricopter this summer, I have made a quadcopter already in school but now I'd love to make my own multirotor. I have a brushless gimbal (the aluminium cnc ebay ones designed to fit phantoms) and have been struggling to think of ways to mount it onto the frame. I have some 1.6mm glass fibre sheet I'm going to use and have access to a CNC router at school. One idea I had was for the wooden back boom to go all the way through the centre plate and for it to stick out the front, so I could bolt the gimbal to it.
For the arms to fold however I would need to move the left and right booms further apart, otherwise the wood boom passing through the middle would get in the way when they folded.
Has anyone else managed to mount a brushless gimbal on their tricopter? If so how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Niall
