    @Litterbug,

    Try this http://rcexplorer.se/forums/topic/baby-tri-default-thrust-factor/#post-32807

    I had similar issues and this helped me, also any wind will make the tail tune fail to complete

    I was only able to get the tail tune to complete in about 3-5 mins in under 5kph wind

    I was having trouble with the tailbone on my Baby Tri, still could not get it to complete, with an 8 min hover landed and checked the battery was just under 20%

    This morning I was able to get the tail tune to complete after 3 mins

    The only difference was light winds around 5-10kph on previous attempts versus under 5kph this morning

    Hi @paulzug,

    If you use all CCW motors these will have conventional right hand threads meaning if you loose a prop nut you should be able to get one from most local hardware suppliers

    If you make sure you use a locknut the prop will not loosen with the prop sizes we use

    you will only need to reverse the direction of the right motor by switching 2 motor wires or reverse rotation in the like of BLheli suite

    hope this helps

    Still amazed at how small this Tri is

    Hi

    I have been running the old 1.9 tricopter rewrite for some time with a some what manageable yaw instability (felt like a rally car going sideways) on a Trifecta with the recommended servo running 3S I recently changed to the triflight alpha2 servo

    Does changing the servo frequency affect the yaw PID’s? I am using the RCE mini PID’s and I find that in fast forward flight the yaw will drift considerably with a any cross wind

    I think that when you turn the tricopter top plate around so the back is the front if you narrow the body and squint a little, it kinda looks like a fun-jet but with a retro futuristic curved leading edge on the wing

    I used the “Tassie Oak” on my scratch build V2.6HV using the thicker booms (12.5mm) it was stiffer and cheaper than the pine, Just make sure you check that the ones you get are straight, you will find it will split along the grain at the screw holes on a hard landing/crash

    Thanks, I didn’t even see that in the description 🙂
    It all makes sense now

    I had similar yaw drift issues with my tricopter and Naze32 with clean flight I noticed it more in hover, I am running a Spektrum dx7 and needed to set the pitch & roll deadband=5 with YAW_deadband=10, I can hover hands off in rate mode in calm conditions where I had no chance before, I am using PID controller 5 “Harakiri” which seems to suit my flying style
