How to program Tricopter Betaflight

[Brandon_G]

Hello all. I am planning on building a tricopter soon using some old motors and escs and the advanced f4 fc from getfpv. I have never used beta or cleanflight before and was wondering if anyone could kinda give me an idiots guide for programming it. Thanks!

If your doing a tricopter RCExpolorer has detailed steps. I did mine that way back when Clmeanflight was the thing. I think he's since recommended Betaflight. Here's the link to the v4 Tricopter. Scroll down to the videos. I haven't gone to Betaflight on my Tri (yet) and my Tri flew fine on the Cleanflight setup until FFE'17 when there was an unfortunate unplanned "landing".
