Title: FPV Tricopter Build!(rcexplorer.se frame) Post by: RcGuru on November 20, 2013, 11:16:12 AM I just finished with the build of my FPV Tricopter ;D, its body has been copied from the frame made by David Windestal (http://www.rcexplorer.se).I always wanted a multicopter for fpv since I started flying FPV, they consume lesser power than a quadcopter and the viewing angle is increased in the front if you would want to use a GoPro or other wide angle cameras! After about 4 hours of build time and 2 days of trimming( :P) I was able to control it and it fly's very stable and takes off on about 15-20% throttle on a 3s and about 10 % throttle on the 4s. I will add my FPV setup as soon as I can fly it easily and smoothly! :thumbsup: My setup is :
