I'm sure these questions have been brought up before regarding building Tricopters, but I find the mass of electronics a mind numbing field.. Some one should really put together and "Tricopters for Dummies" for people like me!!
I would really like to build one to get some nice film footage with my GoPro, mostly line of sight flying. FPV would be nice but not in budget at the present.... Maybe later! So I would like to build David's simple tricopter, as it looks pretty simple to build and can be easily developed in the future. I'd like to use my local hobby suppliers as the postage is seriously expensive from Hobby King so the questions I have for the minute are as follow:-
i) Can a tricopter be flown with a DX5e transmitter, or do you have to have something a little more advanced?
ii) Motors - Can anyone suggest and equivalent to the HEXTRONIK DT750, just tell me what size would be comparable, again so I can lift a GoPro and future FPV gear.
iii) ESC - I know that you can fly tricopters un-flashed, but is it worth getting then flashed and what are the benefits?
Well that's alls I can think of for now, I may add more if I come up with anything. Any advice would be most welcome.
Cheers
