    Try using the configurator that you can download from the chrome store.

    Try bumping up the yaw dead band in cleanflight. Hope this helps. Happy flying!

    Joshua Bardwell’s video This might help you create a custom motor mix to change from pin 3 to pin 5 or pin 6.

    @The-One-Who-Never-Crashes Sounds like an awesome idea.

    Hi, Sree and the-one-who-never-crashes I may have been exaggerating a slight bit but to be clear I LOVE my mini tricopter but it just has some things I don’t like. I’m running a low KV setup right now but hope to switch to Tmotor F60 2200kv and aikon escs. I wish that was the powerpack for the mini. But the things I don’t like is the servo and how the gears inside are so fragile and bendy. Sometimes while flying or LOS freestyle you can feel the deadzone of the servo twitch the copter about by 1 or 2 degrees on the yaw axis. But the part that annoys me the most is the harsh 20º yaw to the left. I dont know how to fix it but if you do I would love to know. ALso I will be building this beast of a quad my friend has built one and it rips and screams like crazy. Check it out here… Little insane quad.

    I also use Terge’s 3d printed racing cage and it’s awesome

    Yes but a better motor choice would be the tmotor f60 2200kv motors on the aikon esc’s. produces 1500g of thrust @30 amps with king kong 6×4

    personally, I would get a quad for reliability because as soon as you bump the tail servo it flies like crap. ANd you have to redo the tail tune over and over again.

    Not sure. But I would use the multi star motors on 6 inch props on 3s and on little bee’s. if you want longer setups you can get some cheap ($22.19 for 4 motors) 2208 racerstar motors from banggood and swing some 6inch props for a decently long flight time. ( I get around 8 mins on a RCExplorer mini tri with 2208 1900kv motors on 3s). I would not reccomend unsing a naze 32 because it fails alot and I have personally had 3 die on me. I would recomend davids fc or a Spracing F3 from banggood. Happy flying!

    I would try reflashing the F3FC (make sure you flash in DFU mode (hold down boot button while plugging into pc). SBus should be connected to UART 1 yellow/white to the RX pin. Smartport should be on UART 2 TX pin.
    In the PORTS tab in cleanflight. UART 1 should have serial RX enabled. UART 2 should have telemetry enabled and Smartport selected (not FRSKY). In the configuration tab RX_SERIAL should be selected. Also under Serial Receiver provider you should have selected Subs. Lastly, scroll to the bottom and select Telemetry output. Hope this helps. Happy flying!

    I had the same problem happen to me. It turned out to be my ESC. I went through 2 sets of ESC’s before this stopped happening. (I am running a mini tri with 1900kv motors so if my ESC choice seems odd it’s not.) My kiss 18a’s were unreliable and made the left arm drop on 4s. My rotor geeks rg20a’s were awesome for like a month until it made the back motor drop on 3s(causing many crashes) someone on these forums told me it was a bad FET. I am now using little bee 20 amp ESC’s and they work great. ALSO, IT could be your motor. To check spin one of the motors on the front with your hand. Make sure the copter is off and has sat for 5 min without power. If the motor spins freely without too much resistance after your hand is not in contact with the motor, it passes. But If you spin your back motor and it stops spinning as soon as your fingers come off the shaft then it is most likely that you have a short in your motor. I had to replace a motor because of this. Sometimes the motor would “stall” as I increased the throttle or did a backflip. Causing it to scare me and do a double flip. I also experienced this as I went inverted and then when I came to flip out the motor would stall and the copter would fall for a few seconds. Hope this helps! Happy flying!

    You don’t even have to use the small ground wire for the ESC you can just use the signal. All the grounds are connected on the ESC board and the F3FC. Or you could solder to any negative point on the board. (I would also recommend the ESC negative pad). Happy Flying!

    Yeah I made a fuss about this before and then I had the post taken down. They did get permission if you read the description, it says he has permission.“Also, a very special thank you to David Windestål (RCExplorer.se – maker of the best tricopters in the world) and Jeff Payne (Jeff CaliDrone on YouTube – an amazing FPV pilot) for letting us use short clips from their amazing videos, and Kevin MacLeod for the “Killers” soundtrack we used in our video.” Thanks! Happy Flying.

    I have a dumb question but does this mean that the triflight code has been merged into betaflight?

    Do the tail tune in acro mode. It makes it much easier because your not fighting the level mode. When you do the tail tune any stick input besides throttle pauses the tail tune. So in acro mode you just let it sit in a hover during the tail tune, correcting when neccecerry.
