Hi everyone, i've been away from the hobby for a while. Now however, i have some time in my hands, so i started another tricopter build.
This one is a 240 size Tricopter.
i'm using the base from a 240 quad that i wrecked some time ago. i did a little dremeling here and there, and came up with a decent frame for this little monstrosity. here's a pic
As you can see, there is some pretty old hardware there. It's reliable hardware though. In fact the KK is the only board with which i could achieve a stable tricopter flight. the Naze did a decent job for a while, but the newest firmwares sucked at tricopters. So i thought. meh, i have at least 3 good motors from that wrecked quad, let's put together a tri. Here is the list
kk 2.1.5
little bee 20A opto esc 2-4s
cobra 2300kv motors
6x4.5 props
minima ppm receiver
fatshark 250mw
700tvl camera -Yet to be found-
BEC 5v
With battery i'm aiming at around 700 grams.
I'm thinking for a battery i should go with something under 2000mah. What do you guys think, how much autonomy a 1500mah battery would yield?
The idea behind this build is to use, only hardware that i have lying around. So far i haven't spend a single dollar on it =D.
Next step Electronics installation.
i'll try to keep updates coming
cheers!
