Yes it flys but I would not call it controlled flight ;)

This was ment to be a mini prototype before I went to shell out $$$ on hardware.

    It was a proof of concept and does kinda fly. It was something I put together at 2am with parts I had already and did not have counter rotating propellers, I angled the motors to counter for this and it worked a little.

    Without gyros or any sort of stabilizers after liftoff (and even before) it quickly finds the closest wall.
    I am thinking that next time I will use 2 cheap coaxial helicopters and no soft foam for the frame.

    Did you try to fly it, or is this for proof of concept and not functional? May need counter rotating propellers?

    Neat- I bet a set of mCx helicopter guts would provide the functionality that you need for controlled flight on your design...

    Unlike most of the other tricoptors out there I wanted to balance most of the weight only on 2 motors then use the 3rd for control.
