Re: Tricopter- the poorman's heli
Nice test Jerry .....makes an excellent "leafblower"..?
Seems very predictable in the vid ....want to see some turns now..and how about a few more still pics, maybe side on..to show the curvature of the frame.
I think you got a winner here...looks like you were going for a lighter overall weight.

Weight is 4.5lb and I hope to carry 3lb payload, I just got it sorted so I will do little more hovering dialling it in before we go too crazy.

Really, heavier than I thought, but those big props (12's..?) gotta be producing massive lift which makes the weight appear to be less.

Re: Tricopter- the poorman's heli
Very good Jerry, look forward to seeing you fly it at Shannon with some additional room to move ....appears that your very relaxed with it, and that it behaves well..!
