Tricopter ?

I am a little surprised at how light and small it is.
Although each arm measures 14 3/8" x 1/2".


Once I get it together with the motors that I've ordered, it will be a BEAST!

Smitty - I think that should be mine.  I ordered before you did.  You're shipment was a mistake.  Look in the box and see if the packing list says "Deliver to Tiger".

You know... I never really looked at the size, but I thought it would be a little bigger than that.  I'm going to have plenty of motor for sure.

So how about I come over and pick that up?

I'm pretty sure this one's mine.
After all, I did have to sign for it. (registered)

You don't understand Smitty.  YOU'RE paperwork got into MY box by mistake.  I'm going to the Post Office tomorrow and if mine isn't there, then I know you have it.  Don't worry, if yours is there, I'll bring it to you.

...Tiger

(LMAO)
It is curious as to why my order arrived before yours.
Maybe yours was shipped by boat (slow boat from China)?

I'm worried that mine didn't ship at all.  Tracking only showed one listing and nothing after that.  Did you track yours?  If not, what was your tracking number?  I'd like to compare it to mine.  I've never really had a problem with China, but I always worry.

PM sent

OK Smitty!  I'm going to let you off the hook this time, but I don't want to see this happening again.  ;D

...Tiger


P.S.  Tnx for PM

Looks like twice the fun!
Go get'em Tiger!

Two, but one is for my friend Rick Taylor.  I've got everything now!  HeeeHawww!

Great stuff you guys.  When will we see some build threads?  If you do, please post plenty of assembly photos for us folks to follow along.

Are you not showing us bag of parts Smitty?

I'm comparing your pics to Tiger's and they don't seem to compare. What can't I see

I'm just curious as you must have everything

EDIT: N/M just looked at you new build thread

Tiger's package has two airframes, mine is only one.
I have all of the airframe parts, just not everything needed to get her to fly.

hehe, now you mentioned it I see Tigers two landing gear, must be blinder than I thought ...
... anyhow thanks for answering it's all good as I said "just curious" no big deal

Did either of you guys ever receive your OpenPilot boards?

I have the Open Pilot board, but I have not flown one.  Have played with it quite a bit with the software.  Had it at the robot club meeting about three or four months ago.  It's going in my next mini quad if I ever get that done.  Really tempted to put it on this tricopter.  Hmmm...

The OpenPilot board was my first commitment to this build. Ordered on November 2nd.
Maybe I'll get it before my birthday?

When we talk about OpenPilot I guess we are talking about their "CopterControl" product, is that correct?  What is this "Revolution Platform" they have listed in their menu, but do not seem to have much information about?

I was talking about the Open Pilot Control Board.
My guess is the revolution platform takes this into the next dimension. where ever that is?
