After much reflection, I am letting go of my tricopter based on the Delrin Pro Tricopter frame and CC3D. It hasn't seen much stick time since I got my quad for FFF flights. Although I wanted to keep some components (e.g., CC3D and Rx), selling it complete will make it easier for me and perhaps for someone who wanted a ready-made tricopter. So here are the included components:
Units Component
1 Delrin Pro Tricopter Frame with 2 cover plates (orange and lime color)
2 12" Basswood Arms (front)
1 10" Basswood Arms (rear)
1 CC3D + wires (custom-made by RCG's KC10Kevin, with right-angle servo headers)
3 Gaui GUEC GE-183 18A ESCs
3 Gaui GUEC GM412S 960KV (Scorpion) Motors with recently installed Scorpion bearings
3 10x4.7 HQ Props
1 Frsky Delta 8-Ch Receiver (FrSky D8/V8, Futaba S-FHSS/FHSS, Hitec A-FHSS) upgraded with 40cm dipole antennas
1 KST DS115MG Servo (metal gear, high-speed)
1 Hobbyking 1/3" Sony CCD Video Cam (PAL) 520TVL with 2.8mm/3.6mm lens
1 Hobbyking FPV Fiberglass Pan-Tilt Camera Mount (to allow multiple angles via the Tx switches)
1 HobbyKing HKU5 5V/5A UBEC (powers the CC3D, Rx, and servo)
4 GetFPV/Lumenier Orange RC Bobbins
1 HobbyKing e-OSD
1 Boscam 5.8Ghz 200mw FPV Wireless AV Tx & Rx Set + Cables + stock dipole antennas
1 Hobbyking on-board low voltage alarm
1 Hobbyking Discover Buzzer (lost plane finder)
3 FPV Manuals Velcro
2 Turnigy Nanotech 2200mAh 3S (45-90C) - slightly puffed after some use with a previous quad
1 Voltron 2200mAh 3S (45C) - moderately puffed (got this used from another DH seller)
1 Turnigy Nanotech 460mAh 3S (25-40C) for the FPV gear
Other items included:
- all remaining Gemfan 10x4.5 Carbon-Nylon props
- all other components in the Delrin Pro Tricopter kit
- extra 3.6mm lens for the camera
Here are the images:
Short clip of a tuning session:
I previously used a KK2 board on this frame (with a different set of ESCs) and did not work out well. At that time, it crashed twice, one due to a tail-heavy setup, and another with the arms folding on a fast forward flight. I have since secured the arms before flight with nylon screws, which I'll include as well. It has not yet crashed on this CC3D configuration, although I haven't really put a lot of stick time on it since. It had some tuning sessions and hovers well, but will still require a few adjustments for fast forward flight.
The tricopter will not be sold in parts at this time. Perhaps if there is no one interested in the RTF setup after a week or two then I will start selling the components.
Selling Price: S$390 (Firm - as I have already placed a huge depreciation hit on the components)
SMS/Whatsapp: 9-seven-5-one-four-3-3-3
Deal at my block in Tampines if you want me to demo it, or a mutually agreed place if you take my word for it.
