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  ;) ;)

First of all my electronics
motor: 1000kv with 1047 or 9047 props
esc   : 20A
Lipo  : 2200mah 35-50C
servo: Some metal gear
Flight ctrl : KK multicopter v5.5(black board)
And may be some keychain cam and all..  ;)

Using wood strips for the arms and fiberglass for a centre plate( Just for supporting the structure)
>:D >:D

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.. ;D

Went to sleep and woke up at 6am

And Started my work with the yaw mechanism, i made my own mechanism using some old sketch pens and some bearings..
Also a 2" bolt and some nuts(looks stable) :headscratch:

And made a 4mm hole in the handle and tightly fitted 2 nuts inside that and poured some superglue 8-)
Now the i can screw in and out the motor easily and very much stable... ;D ;D

And fixed all other motor and fixed using zip-ties only, but better than screw i think :thumbsup:
now the total weight is 350 gms including 3 motors.. :salute: :salute:

Arun,
Although this question was directed at Adi, but led strips on the arms is a yes yes, maybe a strobe light at the end of each arm.

+1 for you arun bhai......   awesome build.
fan of scratch building......

arun.sreelakam

@girish bhai actually there is a secret behind that question, i contacted adi today and there was a talk regarding the led strip thats why specially dedicated the question to adi.. and cetainly yes yes will add some strips, But only after i learn to fly :giggle: :giggle:
