A little less conversation - T-Copter - 9-29-10 (3 min 32 sec)

Hey Tim, what do you call your Bolens tractor? My dad calls his "Hortence".

- Jeff

Tim, it flies great! How do you like it compared to the tri?

Jeff,

That's a Wheel Horse. I never named it... 3 speed high and low range. It's great for hauling wood around.

Quail,

So far so good. I can't put my finger on it but it just seems more stable than the tri.

It really does look stable. Very stable. Nice job. I have a couple of questions.
Is the CG close to your dowel in the center?
How are the Pulso motors working?

Morris

Nice flying, Tim!
Where can I get the T-Copter?

Hi Morris,

The center dowel got me really close. I started balancing it at that location, marked where the battery was, then moved the battery back about an inch.
The Pulso's are working out great!

Djacob7,

You have to build it. Check out these two threads. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1142429 & http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1284199

Nice Job Tim, and is this your disertation for your PhD form the Signguy School of Flight?

Mike.

LOL... No way. You should see Bob fly his tri in person. I'm still in grade school. (3rd grade.) I have a little clip of Bob that I can post.

Tim-

Can you explain what you did for your yaw mech?

I'm in the process of building another T and am taking pics along the way. (A picture's worth a thousand words.)

Tim , I suppose you know that pultruded carbon tubes will split easily.........I wrap the ends with Kevlar thread and CA it

Ian

those tricop... multicop seems the way to go for PRO ap jobs !

i'm afraid about my poor pilot skills

from your opinion/experience : all those gyro help enough to allow
poor pilot to try this bird
