Shrediquette derbe evo progress

Some images of the assembly process...: There is not much space inside the frame, but everything fits. The assembly also went quicker than I thought. I just need to replace all the motor shafts of the Graupner Ultra 2806 2300 kV motors (due to a hard crash), and then I am ready to go. The take-off weight is just 447 grams.

Circuit and PCB layout released!

Today I can release the circuit and the PCB.  My little tricopter project seems to be fully documented now, it was a success and lots of fun. And now for something new.... I want to become snowboard pro ;-D. I will most likely post a video of the outdoor performance of the tricopter soon. This is the layout : (thanks to " AVR-Frickler" for tweaking the layout!) And here comes the circuit : TriGUIDE_v3.pdf You can download the Eagle files here: TriGUIDE_v3.zip

A new version of the tricopter is finished

News...: A completely new version of the copter recently did it's first flight. I rebuilt chassis, electronics and replaced the battery. I was able to save 35% weight (996g -> 628g). Outdoor flight tests still have to be done. But I am really looking forward to that. Lowering the kinetic energy might significantly increase flight performance. P.S.: In the meantime I did three outdoor flights: Absolutely great!! I can hardly believe that I built this thing on my own ;-D. Lots of power, very agile and absolutely precise and fun to fly! Currently, I am working my way through the source code (cleaning up and adding comments), so I can post it here. The electronics circuit + PCB will also be made available.
