Tilting Tri-Rotor VTOL v.3.b unveiling

Brand new airframe made from wood dowels and depron foam. Obtained constructing the idea, but at the price of time for the scratch build. Ironing out the bugs of newness and not liking the current forecast of 20s and 30s but stay tuned for the next video of it in the air and hopefully not in the ground!

Are you using a controller or are you flying it manually? And if you are using a controller, what model/brand did you buy and did you have to write a control algorithm? I would really appreciate some help on this matter.

@NortonAntor I would say "manually" because nothing is stopping it from tipping over eventually. I say "eventually" because there are 4 peizo gyros. but after that it's me and my TX. The gyros are GWS none the less. I have only played with a 2 CH IR "auto pilot" and I wouldn't trust it on this ship but for an airplane it's nice.

what are you looking to build?

every moment of this video was ubercool! great job with everything and best of luck on the maiden (especially the transition to FF).

[Erbalite]

@wildhover thanks wildhover! I'm glad you liked it.

I hope I don't need luck but its good to have everything covered.
