Crazy flyer/crasher :D
Hey guys,
I finally started my Tricopter Project over the winter which will hopefully succeed.
I just wanted to start this thread to inform you what is going on and make some kind of post everytime I do something with it and when stuff arrives and what I build and so on...
So yesterday evening I ordered the first parts:
3 x this motor
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8621
It says straight under it that it gives you 740g of thrust so in total a thrust of 2220g (with that used prop)
on 3 cells (which I am planning to use 3S 2200mAh)
Do you think those will do fine? I was concerned about choosing the right motors!
Second relevant part was this:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=19534
The KK Control Board.
I am going to flash it to get my needed Tricopter firmware into that little nice processor.
Then what I hope to be able to use are simple 18A ESC´s (which are sold in Germany but I heard that they are copies from the Turnigy Plush´s, which is good, because they can get along with the high PPM rates without shutting down the motor)
Yeah then I wanted to have a Hitec HS81MG on my tail motor for the yaw, but unfortunately I couldn´t orderthe system David Windestal ( his website) used in his build, which I try to be reasonably close to in terms of size and performance.
The only problem I still got is that I need a USB ISP to be able to flash the board. So I´ll just try to find one on Germany.
Does anyone already have a Tricopter and could probably manage me a bit along this?
Any further question/suggestions about the set up?
