Drumroll please!
Ladies and gentle men, I have the great pleasure to present the Tricopter V2.5!
The build log contains more than 80 pictures and I’ve tried to be as thorough as I could. My goal is that almost anyone should be able to build one.

Anyone interested?

This past weekend I visited Sweden’s largest meeting with jet turbine powered models.

Over 25 models where flown. One to two models at the time were in the air and the sound and smell was awesome! ... Read More...

Here is the second DIY antenna guide in the circular fashion. The Skew-Planar Wheel antenna is an excellent omnidirectional receiver antenna. Team this one up with a Cloverleaf and you’ll have an excellent omnidirectional circular polarized antenna setup that will reject multipath, give you a clearer signal and wont loose signal in a bank.
