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 :

Made a gimbal using servos.... stabilised by the kk2 board. Will have better and more stable videos soon.
Nice video .. love the water, beach and the copters
Some shots taken by the Tricopter:
I had been to Goa last year in Feb with my wife.
I really missed my quad that time, its really fantastic to fly on beaches. Nice video there Prateek, did you fly FPV or LOS?
Flew both Fpv and Los...
The first and last pics are from Sunburn and the second one is from opening of the 3rd International Lusofonia games's opening ceremony
