Tcoptor

Richard Boyd:
Hi all, well I have made a first step toward FPV by building a Tcoptor.
I have had only 2 flights in windy conditions, resulting in  2 crashe    :shock:
This incoming week looks like it will be calm so I intend to do abit of practise flying and try and get used to coptor flying.

Happy Days:
HHMMmmm is that made from an experienced ‘copter design, or a Boyd special? 8)  (This looks about right so I’ll give it a try)

In my ignorance I would have thought, if your only going to use three motors, that the arms 'should' have been spaced at 60degree to each other.
Why did you choose a ‘T’ configuration Richard?

K.

Richard Boyd:
Hi Keith , this is not my design, the motors are 120 degrees spacing from each other.
I have tweeked my setup abit to try and make the coptor steady in flight.
I used higher KV motors swinging smaller 8x4 DD props.
The frame cost £4 to build , I am getting like my Scotch friend  :lol:
I decided on a T coptor as I wanted some nice video shots with no motors showing.
I never flew a heli before and I understand zero things about helis.
I originally bought a controller from HobbyKing but it was fautly !!!!!!!!!
Still waiting a refund, which I will probably never get.
I then contact a guy named Jussi from Viacoptor, http://www.viacopter.eu/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=8&Itemid=53
Jussi gave me loads of advice and help.
What a difference between the chineese robbers and the EU small business's.
Jussi has some new products coming out soon !
I will be support him with my money.

Happy Days:
Oh,……..well I’m only an Englishman so it all seems a bit technical to me. :roll:

( I never quite got to grips with trigonometry. :(  )
Can’t figure out how the motors can be 120 degrees from each other and yet  the ‘copter have a ‘T’ configuration. :?:
(I know in my last posting I suggested 60 degrees,…..but I meant 120, silly me! :D )

Anyway, good luck Richard! :clap:

B.T.W. What are you intending to film,…………sunbathing beauties in their back gardens perhaps 8) ……you naughty man you :wink: !!

Keith

Richard Boyd:
How did you guess what I wanted to film  :clap:
There is no keeping secrets when your around Mr. Keith

I now need to buy a new PC as my desktop is showing just frame by frame when I am editing video.
Anyone got good specs for a home build PC for editing using sony vega HD ?
