Fly High

I was planning something which is very exotic for a few days and ordered some parts, So it will be boring till They reach me and mean while decided to make a T-copter, Was having some motors and esc..
T-copter is my favorate among multirotors.. Gone through many threads and all  to collect some datas and tips on making one.
And here is the build log not yet finished but almost finished the body part...
And of-course it will be putting in the sweeps  Wink Wink

And Some more pics of testing the electronics after the flashing of KK board..
Done lot of experiments and reference To make the motors to start atleast Giggle..
Then the next problem occurred that uneven response from motors, Fixed that by calibrating the esc's individually..
and the time is 10.30pm.. Grin

@flying brick: Thanks for that buddy, Yes it must form an equilateral Triangle in order to balance and the CG points must be of same distance from all the motors..
It was easy for me to calculate with this calculator...

Arun, this is simplicity at work. I am following your build diligently.  Total noob in copters so please excuse my dumb questions...when  you say equilateral triangle,  wouldnt an isoceles provide a good representation of distribution of weight so the boom length can be adjusted to compensate for the weight of the front members and motors and better fore aft balance  Head Scratching

@girish sir This is my first ever copter.. And less experienced that you in this field for sure so forgive me if i said anything wrong,
As you said isosceles triangles, which can be made with many length and angles, When increasing the length of the center hand the triangle will stay as isosceles but it will be difficult then to find the CG on that...
I think equilateral will be easy for a Tcopter..  Head Scratching Head Scratching

And installed the landing gears and a canopy to protect the electronics from crash, Looks like a wires one but gives good protection..
Soon trying to build a  more realistic canopy..

Arun that comparison is incorrect. Iam still lesser experienced than you in copters. I still havent made one and you already are planning to maiden one... I get what youre saying...sure but it will be worthwhile to experiment with different designs...

Sir Experiments are always  awesome but as we are big beginner to these rotors i think we must go behind the successful design first.. Giggle
Well it will be possible to make one as you said, And we will do that one day..  Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
