Scratch built Tricopter (Wooden Frame)
The only thing thats scratch built is the frame.
Specs:
Frame made out of wood
KK 2.0 FC with Ver 1.6 firmware
Avionic M2230/15 KV1780 MICRO brushless motor
Hk 20amp esc flashed with simon k firmware
Wolfpack 4200mah 35C 7.4V
8043 props
AUW 570gms approx
Flight time approx 12 mins
I dismantled my quad(

And built this tricopter because it is easier for me to keep check on orientation on a tri than a quad!
Working with KK 2.0 is like playing with lego blocks. Most of the issues are already documented online, so its easy to setup.
Issues:
Wolfpack batteries are getting a lil 'more than warm' after flight. I thought a 4200mah 35c should very easily handle 60amps draw.
Voltage after use is around 6.65-6.7v. I am at loss here?
Motors get super hot and impossible to touch for a minute or 2 after flight, but its holding together even after 15-20 flights, so i think thats alright. I wanted to reduce the prop size, but 7*4/4.5 props are not available here in India.
