New Tricopter Delrin Kit

[WildWill]

Do they make replacement prop shafts for the NX-4008 motors?

A few question (or so).
I am planning on running my delrin tri on 4S soon and i would like to know how you guys power your video TX with it. Do you use a voltage converter or tap into the balanceplug of the battery ?

Any pictures or links for guides would be very appreciated

Another question, how do you hook up the gopro to the video TX ? Make the cable yourself or buy somewere ?

Btw, i am going to try to remove more vibrations from the camera by removing the nylon screws from the bottom bamboo plate and hang it using silicon tubing (ala rxecplorer) that i bought at the zooshop today. I let you know how it worked out :P

I use a Video TX that can take a large range of voltage including 16v or 4s:

There is a special cable for this Video TX and the GoPro:

And they also have a cable that works with other Video TXs:

I had the same question a week ago when I tried to mount the 200mw HobbyKing vTX on my 4S lipo, I started a new topic on the DIY forum: HK 200mw 5.8GHz transmitter on 4S lipo ? and received a few solutions, I personaly chosed the 3 diodes in series for my tricopter and it's working great, the transmitter is not even warm after a 13 minutes flight.

Note to self never read all 186 pages of this thread in a few short back to back session; as my brain is now on overload. I think about 80% of this great info sunk in so I should be good at build time. Oh yea, maybe I should have said I've just purchased a Delrin Tri and all the parts to put this bad boy together for LOS flight, I can't wait. might be back for some help

Hi guys,

Have the Delrin kit flying for a while now, but finally had time to try FPV too. Love it.

Mine is the first version with OpenPilot CC.
Would like to hear some comments.

Great stuff rolin,
Where are you based? Doesn't seem to be too built up which is nice.

It is funny, when flying with the Sim, I find it a lot easier to use FPV rather than LOS.
I know when I eventually get my Tri up and running that I will be using LOS first but I have already purchased the gear I need to go with FPV.

Can't wait and seeing your video has just inspired me even more- thanks for sharing.

I'm curious if anyone has tried using the Feiyu Tech FY-30A Inertial Flight Stabilization System on the Delrin Tricopter? Feiyu Tech provides a FY-30A multi-rotor firmware load for Quads and Tri's. I have a spare FY-30A laying around and was thinking of giving it a try on the Delrin Tri build. I'll likely do comparison against the KK board with KaptainKuk v1.6 Firmware.

Thanks

It's in Bulgaria, near Sozopol. I think it will be built up soon, give it 3-4 years

For me the first FPV flight was a disaster, I was completely disoriented. The thing was I was
listening from the ground and looking from the air. Just use the headphones to listen to the
motors and you are good to go. You will need a friend to tell you how high you fly
in the beginning though.
