If the frame weight is only 225 gms, how come the total weight to 1385 gm ???

Check weight of your battery individually . Three of your motors cannot provide the sufficient lift to your Tricopter.

You should consider reducing the AUW to less than 1Kg .

Avoid unnecessary wooden pieces,  decrease the arm lengths, and find some alternatives for that landing skids . you may also consider using aluminum hollow square tubes for arms.

Actually the the frame weight means only wooden frame without motors esc or wiring.
battery is of 385gms. is there someone who want 4200mah  3 cell 20c 11.1 V battery pls contact 9833536857.

Does the 2200mah 3cell 11.1 v 35 C battery is suitable for the tricopter?

Does the 2200mah 3cell 11.1 v 35 C battery is suitable for the tricopter?  Or the "C" rating affect for the flight?

Depends on your style of flying....if you want to fly aggressively(high speed passes,etc) not sufficient and if you wan to hover then ok....
More C rating means you can withdraw more amps without puffing the battery!  :hatsoff:

I have the similar setup, wooden frames and these nameless motors, the auw with 2200mah is 750gms,  and the copter works just fine, so for your copter to lift or to work properly, you have to reducuce weight to atleast 800gms, and the prop should be 10x4 size. Btw, what lipo and how old is it.

Tanmay, a 2200 maH 3S 25C or higher is Enough for your setup - But you should really consider decreasing the weight to around 800 gm incl. everything .

Ohh are you want to buy it? If you want then check out my another post "I want to sell my battery" on that I had given all details. If you want to buy pls contact immediately on 9833536857

No i am not intrested in the lipo as i knew my tri cannot lift that weight. Am getting around 13mins with this setup which i am verymuch okay with. Just want to know the life of battery since my old turnigy 2200mah which holds charge good and voltage as good as a new one failed to give beyond 6mins. So a degraged lipo wont show itself explicitly but you will see a drastic loss in performance, sometimes deadly. Btw whats your auw except lipo. Pics please..and why thismuch heavy, what wood is the arms made of and what about the center plate, my previous versions of tricopter has centerplate that weighs close to 200gms, now my fiberglass centerplate weighs just 40gms, these are the checkpoints that you need to look out for.

Just saw the tricopter pics again, are you using a electric switch? I can see lot of plywood which is not necessary, my arm lengths are so short that the props are just 3inch away from the fc, center board seems okay, sleeve up all the wires, are you using different brand esc on one arm, those motors aint capable of lifting this weight. Are the props rotating in correct dorection. Instead of using ply to lock those legs, just use single screw.
