TriCOPTER600
Hi everyone,
I love creating my own frames, tricopters were always in my TO DO list so I decided to check out what spare parts I have and create my own one.
The idea was to create a cheap FPV_Tricopter, stable for soaring the sky and portable, out of my spare electronics using my design skills and my 3D printer,
The TriCOPTER600 is a great sky explorer FPV flyer, cheap and very easy to build. I used
Inav FW since I wanted some autonomy features but you have other great
tricopter FW in case you want to try out. Below there are links to the parts and tools I use to create the tricopter, You can check my other designs too in case you need something else.
