When I was building Tricopters, the max I did was +-15 & there was more YAW than I could manage. However this is not saying very much because I am not a good of a pilot. :) As for the TriFour design, 30 degrees appears to be the optimum angle. I first tried 45 degrees because it was the easiest to cut. With the angle at 45 degrees, I found there was just not enough downward thrust to be of any good use. I have my props pointed inwards, others are doing it now but when the props outware.
