MINI TriCptr - TriCopter

thingiverse

This flight controller features a MINI MWC board along with a DSM2 receiver, offering great performance but limited availability for beginners. Keep an eye out for the Afro Naze FPV version. The Speed Controller includes 12A BlueSeries Flashed with Simon K, while motors consist of RCX 1804 (2400KV) with 2 reverse and 1 normal rotation. A TGY-50090M metal gear 9g analog servo is used, alongside Gemfan 5" 5030 propellers. The Zippy Compact 1000 mAh 25c 3s battery provides approximately 10 minutes of flight time. Misc hardware includes M3x22 hex bolts with lock nuts for the tail and a jumbo paper clip for control rods. FPV is still in progress, so stay tuned. A short flight video can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/-k4rP4TRBJ0. An update includes mk5 2204.stl and _mk5-tail 2204.stl for larger 2204 motors, though adjustments may be needed. Printed items include the frame, rear skid, canopy without support, and front skids with support. The tail requires printing with support while using three M3 washers to smooth rotation motion. Motor wiring was soldered directly to the ESC, with control wires shortened for a better fit. PID settings were halved from stock values, with some yaw rate adjustment according to preference.
