Never catch a multirotor
Hey guys,
I just finished the quick-build of the RadicalRC lasercut tricopter. This is the firts one for testing. When ok, our club will build more (larger and smaller ones) with all the correct length wiring etc.
These kits from www.radicalrc.com are great !
The base plates with the motor mounts and the yaw mechanism provide a very good base for designing your own tricopters. All you need is some 10x10cm tubes, your standard RC-gear and some spare hours to build them. See another build review on the RadicalRC website:

You can even mod your tricopter with special landing gear, tail fins, bumpers, camera trays, etc.
I used the following parts:
* 10x10cm carbon tubes (50cm length).
Normal wooden sticks will give somewhat more flex to absorb vibrations I guess, we will test this later.
* Hacker Style 20-22L bruschless 924kv motors
* 30amp turnigy plush esc's (little overkill, 18A or 25A would also be possible)
* HK V1 control board (will compare the KK blackboard later)
* Hitec HS-82MG yaw servo (the best ! and fits perfectly on this mechasism)
* OrangeRX R410 DSM2 4ch RX
* 3S 2200 25c flightmax xthin lipo
* El cheapo 10x3.8 props
* 450 size heli canopy for orientation
It took me 3 hours to build.
First flight was stable with just a little trimming.
Real maiden follows later.
If you have any advise, comments or questions please, let me know !
