Here's a tricopter which has been equipped for FPV flight although, due to a few issues on the day, wasn't flown by FPV in this video. This makes a great aerial camera platform and the plans are available on the internet.

Does this really qualify as an RC plane?

  • If you would like to see more of this Tricopter, I will be putting some new video of it on my channel ( aceflyernz ) in the next week or two. I got it off the rack the other day and I'm putting bigger motors on it. I also have Quad & Octocopter FPV videos on there as well.

  • @xjet I used to have an F-15 rc Jet (That i flew with my Dad) at the Philippines and someone from Tanza (The place where i live) Had a Gun and shot the Turbines and Exploded in Mid-Air (that Culprit will pay!...)

  • small rubber bands holding that expensive go pro

  • Iff pii vii, kiwiii kiwiii

    E is e and not i you little fruits

  • @chaosopher23 Not possible to autorotate. If just ONE of the engines fails, you die. So take MTBF for the powerplant you want to use, multiply by 3 because there are 3 of them and THAT is your chance of an engine-out situation.

  • SO THATS THE FLYING SAUCER THAT I SAW
