Hi!

I'm so happy! I built a tricopter and it works! :)
Using only Hobbyking parts too! Except for the Multicontroller and the box that protects it...

First flight after I got the channels in order:

Flight five, with a cam on board! At -15 deg celsius...

I can so reccommend it! Very stable and easy to fly! And fun to build!

Forgive the messyness, It's still in the "I'm just glad it works"-phase. Optimization and design comes in 2011.
