![]() Power: Plenty of power for sport and acro flying. On high rates with the flight controller settings turned up you can do flips and rolls just a couple feet off the groundįlying With A Gopro: Carried the GoPro with ease Sport Flying: On low rates with standard flight controller settings it’s very manageable and great for carrying a GoPro or other small sport cameraĪcro: Awesome for acrobatic maneuvers. The simple tricopter 2.0 is light and a very capable acro machine. Loops, flips, and rolls are a lot of fun to perform and it’s a large enough machine to handle plenty of wind. Orientation is very good with tricopters as well making it easier to tell orientation when you fly further out or when flying acrobatic maneuvers (flying ‘Acro’). Yaw control is quick, precise, and very smooth, which is one of the biggest reasons many prefer tricopters over standard quadcopters. Assembly is straight forward if you watch the build video, but you really need to pay attention to the details when setting up your particular radio and the flight control boards on any multirotor heli.įlying: Tricopters are a lot of fun to fly and if you currently enjoy flying quadcopters you owe it to yourself to try one. ![]() Most experienced pilots/builders can usually have this kind of heli up and ready to test within an evening or two. Knowing how to set up the flight control board you choose makes your first flight less eventful and after that you can fine tune the settings to your flying style and get the best flight performance. Unlike RTR cars or RTF aircraft set up is everything with a multirotor kit and the simple tricopter 2.0 does not include a build manual. Set-up Notes: It helps to watch the build video at Simplecopter if this is your first multirotor kit. Test Venues: Front Room, Backyard, Local flying fields, and Hobbytown in Orland Park Once you spray or brush on some paint the Phillips head screws can be tightened down to countersink them completely flush with the top plate of the frame. I’d suggest using some loc-tite to keep them from loosening up during flight. The frame and arms are bolted together with Phillips head screws and a couple hex head bolts and use blind nuts on the underside of the frame. Overall quality was really nice but being made of wood you might want to lightly sand the frame a little prior to painting if you want perfection and make sure the yaw block and servo linkage move freely if there is too much friction. Heli skids add nice looks and durability for landings but are also optional when ordering but both were included for this review. The servo to rear yaw block connector is optional when ordering but one is needed to complete the heli build. Build Quality: The kit comes with CNC cut birch frame plates and pine for the arms and yaw block (for tail motor) and is almost fully assembled.
