My Tricopter builds

Thanks Xu and Dan

Brian suggested to split the vid down into two or three vids. I am an absolute novice when it comes to video editing. I think I have a program that will do it. Will check it out when I get home from work

Dan's quote
"it complained, then said If I was a "verified user"

well second time round it asked me exactly that. so i have now verified the account and now it works

yay

disclaimer....... please excuse the low audio.
i shot this on a gopro1 inside the waterproof housing so i could use the stand but the audio is NAFF.....
please turn up the sound to hear my commentary

also want to add

the rear tail boom has way to much twist which if you can see the camera gimbal in the vid suffers when the rear starts to wabble. so my next move is to replace the rear boom with a more ridged material.

any suggestions are welcome..

just an update to my builds.
I have now ditched the rear Yaw mech in favour of building a Vtail.
the first vtail does have a lot of twist in the rear boom but other than that it was a success.
total flight time was 17min stopping at 12.5v (4s 4500mah).
it is still using the ntm 28-30s 800kV and 12x6 props.

the vid is still uploading at the time i posted this so check back soon if it is not working

Wow, that thing is huge! Impressive flight time
Hope you get the tail flexing fixed, It might get your flight time even better, since the flexing requires some compensation as well.

Yep
Working on that mate

Cheers
