The 12x6's do indeed fly. They use much lower PWM than 10x4.5 but consume 20% more power & make really hot motors, as yesterday's theory predicted. -

This shows how far over the tail rotor is when all 3 propellers rotate the same way. It's burning a lot of power to defeat torque. maxxprod.com is in no danger of becoming another Illinois statistic. -

This was the first tri rotor flight in strong wind. Weather vaning was a big problem. That's the price of coolness. -

That will be all for 12" propellers.

More balanced tri rotor. Still tail heavy. -

This was a buster to fly manually. Not much control when the tail is heavy on a tri rotor. -

A few more magnetometer calibrations & she might stop attacking the human.

Vicacopter is now on 24 hours a day & has no less than 2 bricks feeding her. -

U'll be happy to know tri rotors handle nose heaviness much better than tail heaviness & the aft servo mount is very fragile. The crash didn't produce anything besides that nugget of information.

This is the largest airframe we've ever built. -

Connection of 5th rotor to the fuselage does indeed wobble. -

The landing gear is 100% scrap aluminum, hence the tail dragging. -
Views: 237
The weight of the landing gear required to pull this off is far more than any capacity gained by rotor #5. -
