Hi from france
so im kind of new to this hobby, i actually stumbled upon flite test videos when searching for how a servo motor worked. anyways got looking at all those scratch build planes and made a couple of them. I have ordered the necessary electronics for a powerpod and am now waiting for a RX since i burnt out the one that i had ordered. Should of read the instructions.
so i have not been able to fly one of the scratchbuild planes i made, yet.
went into a rc store here in france and the guy showed me a quadricoptor which was pretty cool and seemed a little more easier to learn how to fly. so here i am and i have read through a couple threads including this one: http://rcexplorer.se/projects/2011/09/the-tricopter-v2-5/
and i love the concept. But i have a couple questions:
1) can i use the TX and RX i got from hobby king? this is the one i bought when ordering parts for the plane http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16239
i have no idea if you have to have a different type of controller or not, would prefer (to keep costs down) ans use this one if possible. If not then ill get the one i need
2) im not looking for a huge tricopter but just something big enough and powerfull enough to lift a go pro. I checked out the list of parts needed at the bottom of that link but im wondering if it could be overkill for a beginner?
3) what are the differences in performance between a tri and a quad?
If i can get some help on everything needed then i could start ordering ans then building
thanks
