It's a start, first pile of supplies arrived

[Liemavick]

Thanks to the enabler I was forced to order these things, Value Hobby rocks! Arrived in four days and nothing back ordered, missing, etc... Build will proceed slowly as I still have three more deliveries coming, two from Hong Kong.

Oh wow, you got all kinds of goodies. I spy an i86 board, what cha going to do with it?

 

[Liemavick]

My first Tricopter build is in that pile somewhere Are you familiar with the i86? I ordered it based on the reviews as the KK2 has been back ordered for a while now.

Very cool, there's nothing like that first tri build. Since building my first tri, I haven't looked back, my poor quadcopter hasn't been touched in months. I don't actually own an i86 board but I'm fairly familiar with them. They're good boards, comparable to the original kk board but with better sensors and are much easier to setup. Never seen one fly on a tri though but I imagine it'll do alright and I look forward to hearing how it does.

I hope to post a similar picture myself here in the next week or so. I'm currently waiting on 3 (Hobby King) orders to show up, 2 from Hong Kong and 1 from the USA warehouse.

Are you going to do a build blog?
