Tricopter-Plane prototype
grabcad
The prototype is a maneuverable VTOL plane resembling a tricopter with added wings. The front rotors tilt for increased thrust and lift from the airfoil while the back rotor controls yaw like a normal tricopter. Electronics, servos, and more will be added during progress.

Suggestions, tips, and advice are welcome. On 8/16, mechanisms were added to adjust the front rotor angle and alter the back tilt mechanism. Hitec HS-82 analog servos are used; CAD files will be updated later.
