Tricopter build: Parts List
The tricopter bug has bitten and I've ordered the parts to build one. Technically it's a present from Santa so I might have to wait until after Christmas to put it together.
I'm taking direction form two main sources;
- http://www.rcexplorer.se/projects/tricopter/tricopter.html
- http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1142429
Trying to order the exact same parts from either build is tough as a lot of the parts are on backorder at hobbyking () so I'm hoping what I have ordered is suitable.
For those not familiar with Tricopters, here's a video of one someone else has built and successfully flown.
