Nice! Having built everything, I still watch these build videos just because I like them and how neat the final product is 🙂
Great stuff David, loving the jokes 🙂
I would love to ask you for one thing – perhaps a small vid showing a conversion between full size V4 and MiniTri. I would imagine there might be people out there that want to do the conversion, etc. Just to show what needs changing, removing, etc. I’m planning to build mine full size but with the canopy for the FPV stuff so in case of a crash i can chop the arms , remove the tray and have a mini 🙂
Great stuff all around, thank you for being awesome!
Great video! Now I dare to complete my Mini Tricopter build. 🙂
David, you are awesome!
Same here, I was completing my build slowly, felt as though I was walking through darkness. Now its full steam ahead. Still have some small questions about with power bec to choose/solder (3.3/5/8volt) but ill study that bridge when I get to it.
thanks
David, have you looked into the KISS FC for tricopter? i know it does support tricopter but is it any good?
Definitely not as good as TriFlight with all the improvements
David,
You cheated, first the Battery connector was above, a little bit later under the boom. 🙂
(you did this probably on purpose, to see if we where watching with our full attention.)
Nice work, and thanks for the quick service, my order is already in Belgium.
So is there any way to use a PWM receiver with this board?
A PWM to PPM converter like the arduino pro based one from the Oscar Liang blog.
David, what do you think about the MultiStar lineup of batteries? I have a 3s 5200 mah and I can fly for 40-50 minutes on my big heavy wooden tri-copter. Can you make a video on them?
good for flight time, bad for hard flying.
I have a question… I’ve had trouble making my receiver appear in Cleanflight. It just doesn’t seem to be recognised when I move the sticks
Do I need a signal inverter? I have an R9D receiver with Sbus.
Thanks. Mike
Hi David,
What is the maximum weight that the booms handle? I am planning to put some 2814 710kv motors in this and 13″ props and some 5000mah batteries. Can the booms and the tilt mechanism handle this?
Regards,
Chad
28mm will fit. Do you know the weight of the motors?
I’ve seen others do similar setups so it should work, but no guarantees as I haven’t personally tested it.
Motors are 128g each. AUW based on ecalc is 1.3Kg (That is with 5000mah 4S1P). How heavy does your 4S setup weigh?
Wow those are some heavy motors. AUW on the 4S setup with a GoPro and FPV gear is 980g. With a 4S 3200mAh. I do fly quite a bit with 4S 1300’s now as well as I have so many laying around 🙂 Makes the copter dive and do aerobatics like crazy 😀
Hi david this is my fisrt tricopter im using kk2 mini but there is a issue my M1 not working properly
need more words in order to help troubleshoot. “Not working properly” Is kind of a wide term 😀
