Helli Guys
After so long time, I decided to build the t-copter again. I had made kne last year. It was good but not so good. Now I am going to build it again. The top plate is made up of 6mm plywood and bottom is made up of 3mm light wood. I am using Turnigy D2822/11 1000 motors. I am planning to use  F-30A esc and Hobbyking i86 control board. Please suggest if these enectronics are good engouh.

Looks pretty good, you could flash the esc's with simon k firmware, makes the copter more responsive.
You can also add mounts for your motor, for me it helped to reduce vibrations

Thanks for the suggestions sidewinder. Your T-copter looks and flies great. Now waiting for the esc and board to come.

Me too waiting for you to fly it and trach me also Prateek. Completed the frame yesterday. Made the yaw mechanism and added small pieses of pvc pipe as landing gears. They also provide shock absorption.

Guys is the Hobbyking i86 board a good board for multirotors??

If you are a beginner then, kk 2 is a very friendly board, and it has a fairly good auto leveling and needs a computer only for firmware updates, PID tuning can be done from the board itself and many other settings can be tweaked.
Moreover its well documented board, so you can find better support in online communities.

i86 board only has a single 3-axis MEMS gyro, while kk2 has an 3 axis accelerometer as well which is good for stabilization and auto level. KK 2 has a Atmega324 PA

But at the end its your choice, every board works great only if you can tune them properly, including kk 2 or hobbyking i86.

Thanks for your opinion sidewinder.

I am getting a KK 2.0 for my FPV Tricopter build. I also suggest that you purchase the same. Its hassle free and has a lcd screen for on field adjustments and you basically can program it without using a computer.
