Rebuilt tricopter, for longer flight time.

Hello,I really like my tricopter to fly with it, but my ESC or motor on the left front arm doesn't work very good. But it is okay, I already fly it about 5 months and want to have longer flight time.I fly with a 2200mah 3S I fly 8 minutes, but I still want to fly for longer, so I was thinking maybe a bigger battery or motors with a lower kv and a bigger prop.So I go for the lower kv motor. Off course it is more expensive but I want some new motors too, so that's why!I want to film with the tri, so it need to fly slow and nice.The setup for now isMotors: DT750ESC 20A SimonkKK2.0And a orange rx receiver.And a spectrum dx6iI was thinking at these motorshttp://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__48103__Turnigy_4206_530kv_Brushless_Multi_Rotor_Motor_EU_Warehouse_.htmlBut then I need to remplace my ESC too.Prop I don't know!Is the motor good?It is the frame from rcexplorer

    • have fun.

      • Thanx! I will post a video when it flys good.
  • Hello,

    I got the board, but I want to change some settings, but I don't know where to plug the ftdi in.
    It is the multiwii Crius SE v2.0 with I2C on it. This is a link to the ftdi: https://opencircuit.nl/Product/10018/FTDI-USB-naar-TTL-seriële-adapter now a need to go to the hospital, I will post a photo when I'm back from the board.
    • the ftdi connector faces towards the outside and you need all 6 wires

      • i do not have a link to the board. but i got some pictures: http://abload.de/image.php?img=imag00030okcb.jpg http://abload.de/image.php?img=imag0006o6jma.jpg

        i know it is really difficult too see, but i wiil try to put some pictures later on from closer.

        • You will need wires (2 servo male to male cables should do the job) to make the connection.

          just holding the pins will not be too good (you should really get the bluetooth module so you can do this from an android phone...

          • okay, an i can just use the cables from the reciever to the board? or do these cables need to be connected? a bluthoot module should be muck easyer, but i do not have a bluthoot phone.
            • yes, you can use the receiver to board cables. any cheap android phone 2nd hand will do the job... shame I sold some ones at work yesterday for £12 each as they had cracked (but working) glass

              • I have got a laptop, so I can do it with that.
                • you don't want to take that with you to the field when you are tweeking PID's
