@Dharmik, yes most members are here on RcIndia. Actually people first find RcIndia and then Pancard club field  :thumbsup:

@Anwar, Yes you can say that, but this is barely half the turnout we get usually :)

Can you please give me the T's stats?

Hello Friends!!!
Today itself I flew my T-copter for the first time.It was amazing.It was flying nicely. I didn't had much experience of flying it. Requires some trimming. The landing was very bad. Both time times I landed it in shrubs.But still it flew nicely. Please look at the video

@ ved,  Great start... especially with a Tri-copter which is slightly difficult for a beginner.  But don't you have a ground nearby?  I see u flying very close to the electric lines?  or even a remote beach?

ved

Thanks for reply dreamfly. I am going to start flying at our local ground.

Please be careful as to where you fly. You are flying dangerously close to people and that too when you have not mastered the T-Copter.

Please keep a safe distance between the people and the T_copter. Multirotors can cause serious damage if not handled properly.

Fly safe

Hi Vtol, as discussed over PM you need to calibrate throttle range of your ESC. You can calibrate one ESC at a time by disconnecting the signal connector from the control board and connecting it to a receiver. I did a google search for your ESC name and got link to this user manual which has instructions to calibrate your ESC's throttle.

Guys, why no kk2?

Anyway, good first flight.

ya it luks nice but not wen it flies....
I hav a Q
as said in the setup guide, in step 2 for calibrating the throttle range on the ESC's
http://rcexplorer.se/educational/2011/02/kk-tricopter-setup-guide/
should it be done like this or should be done individually?
Please help

Rahulvyas

No This type of calibration is done for all connected ESCs together.
For the individual one you need a programming card. :)
