Overall width 680mm , length 840mm
About 5 hours work in it so far, the centre section and motor mounts are pre made for me out of 2.5mm fibreglass
The aluminium is all hand cut and drilled (lots of…

Here's my latest (and yes need to work out how to do the mix in APM, as all this is on Open Pilot, using 4 motor channels)
Perfect for Aerial Photography and FPV, camera will mount under the front, just behind the landing…

Have had this flying as a prototype for a while using open pilots copter control, now using APM.
She weighs 3.8 kg, with a bit over 10 kg thrust
Control is done with 5 motor channels , the front motors are operated as one, and control pitch, the left and right middles motors are controlled as left and right pairs, so that two more channels, and control roll, and finally the rear motors are operated individually (channels 4 and 5) for pitch and yaw…

Hi Anil, the KKuk board will never achieve a very stable hover, but you can make it as best as possible
First, do the transmitter stick centering calibration, makes a big diference.
Now I am asuming it already flies ?
What you want to do is make sure your transmitter is set up with a good 30% of expo to soften the sticks around centre, and limit the total throw to around 80%
Next increase the gain settings untill the tricopter gets slightly jittery, and then back of a smudge.
thats the setup that will get it as close to a stable hover as possible, without inertia sensors, it cant do much better (they are comming I believe)
with the above, flying too fast or in wind, will cause it to jitter slightly, as the gain setting are optimised for hovering
Hello
how "daisy chained" ESC working for you? It is a very good idea do you need to add capacitors to the mix as well ?
