Never catch a multirotor
Hey majik,
tri-copter and quad-copters are both WAY more stable than most heli traditional helis. As far as multi-rotors go, it seems the more props, the more stable. The biggest difference that I noticed between tri & quad is that the tri-copter will yaw quicker because of the vectoring tail. Tri's are a little bit less stable than a quad when it comes to gathering really smooth video from an onboard camera, for instance, when you try to "park" a tricopter in a perfect hover it tends to not stay as still as a quad. You can do really nice stuff from a tri, but the quad in my humble opinion seems to be a tad bit smoother. Could just be me though. For FPV, they both do a great job. Hope this helps.....there is a ton of info on here about tri-copters. I am going to start a thread on my quad here pretty soon.

Nothing to add.
I hope to see your build thread soon Eric.
I have 4 multirotor projects pending now ..
1) mid size tricopter (RadicalRC)
2) a 'David v2.5' version for FPV
3) mini indoor quadcopter (BlueSkyRc)
4) carbon fiber sports quad (Hobbyking)
I need more gear and ... more spare time !!!! ;-)
