Here are some pics of my progress, pics are of main frame with electronics and rudder mechs. Its based of a tricopter from a swiss guy. RC explorer, his flys great with the same gear being used.

Finaly finished tricopter. It flys very well, and very stable in high wind which suprised me, I could never fly around my trex only hover, but this I can chuck around. Will upload more photos soon

Yeah my first one I built light and it got blown around a bit. Current one is a heavy bugger over a KG and stable as anything. Wind just makes it drift I am just trying to balance the motors out now so I can get some nice video.
