Season 2 of Maker Hangar has begun!

@PatEm10 10 лет назад

So excited to see this series come back! I feel that shows like this are what will take the place of television in the future.

@smithincanton 10 лет назад

Thank you Lucas Weakley! I have been thinking about building a tri-copter for a few years now. Maker Hanger season 1 was a big inspiration for me this series has me even more pumped! I'm glad you refranced David Windestal he is another innerspring person.

@acpsuperfly 10 лет назад

I'm happy you took the time to mention David Windestal. I've been watching flite on youtube off and on for a couple years and he does great build videos and multicopter reviews. I look forward to watching this series and maybe I will finally take the time to build one.

@Khether0001 10 лет назад

Man, this series is going to be even better than the first one!!! His series, along with DiResta (who's a GOD maker, man!) and Vsauce are my favorite RU-vid videos of all times! Thanks for all, Lucas!!!!!! You're amazing, man!!! Can't wait!!!

@spiros1994 10 лет назад

Can't wait for the whole series to come out..

@georgeharvey7354 10 лет назад

Hey Lucas, could you a little bit more about your quad. It looks cool, and since I want to build one of both I might model them after yours.

@thagrit 10 лет назад

Wow! I guess you did learn a lot from your early work. Good job!

@Telorand1 10 лет назад

Thanks! Very informative! I had always wondered about Tri-copters, since it seemed that everybody jumped on the quad/octo bandwagon (not that they don't have their uses, too).

@RcManiaCyprus 10 лет назад

Yes finally.I thought he was gone!

@faisalarafeh2946 10 лет назад

I can't Wait man

@zaidmd7197 10 лет назад

wow, nice and informative :)

@SadamFlu 10 лет назад

Yay Lucas Weakley!! Yay!!! So cool man!

@hawk_ness 10 лет назад

Any chance of a vitamins pack? I have access to a laser cutter but sometimes is better to just get the nuts and bolts!

@theredredstonesolar4996 7 лет назад

the Maker Hangar Tricopter kit is discontinued on July 1st 2016 the Maker Trainer 2 Kit: is discontinued on July 1st at 11:59 PM EST :/

@punitpanchal90 3 года назад

Nice.

@jaypatel-nc1re 9 лет назад

Tricopter is luking fantastic..... This vedio is really......cul....dude.....

@WinstonSmith1984 10 лет назад

That's a very nice looking tricopter frame. I might add that one to my tricopter collection one day, when I've worked through my current build queue. The only thing I don't like are the over-sized pushrod holes in the yaw mount. See 6:30 - they are much larger than the wire diameter. That's no good. A more rugged and play-free method would be to use screw in ball joints. Does this frame support metric sized screws and arms (such as carbon arms)? I live outside the US, where imperial sized hardware does not exist.

@zartas91 10 лет назад

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lucaaaas!!! we were waiting for you!!!

@felixFPVDrone 10 лет назад

Lucas, on your open coming scratch build would you do a segment on what deflection is, what it does, and how to setup the aileron and elevation deflection on your future twin boom build.

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Unfortunately, all the videos have already been filmed. But I can write a blog post about it on makerzine.com in the future.

@felixFPVDrone 10 лет назад

Lucas Weakley That would be great! Thank you

@Hsewell 10 лет назад

can you post a link to that video you first mention?

@mustafamoussa 10 лет назад

How much would everything approximately cost?

@faizanqureshi9837 10 лет назад

Cool...

@Fatty1547 10 лет назад

What radio equipment would you recommend for the tri-copter? especially if you want to add a pan and tilt camera option

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

I like the 9XR, its definitely something that could be used to do that.

@Oshbotscom 10 лет назад

I was 3/4 of the way through my quadrotor design. Back to the drawing board......

@keyko69 9 лет назад

which motor ..kv.. would give me more lift ?

@matthewhall435 10 лет назад

Is there a possibility for you guys to chuck the electronic in for a price because I don't have anywhere that I could buy them I live in new zealand ?

@parth7888 8 лет назад

i have an request for u, please try to make an twincopter or dualcopter by only radio and receiver

@Lifeguard326 10 лет назад

Have you posted a parts list for the Tri Copter ?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Its on the product page

@shatfield 10 лет назад

Nice Pebble Steel!

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Yes!!! Someone noticed!

@medvesthekiller501 10 лет назад

I want one!!!!

@jasonhollingsworth4877 10 лет назад

What about recommended transmitters and receivers for those of us starting from scratch?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

I will add a section for that on the product page

@bloomx 10 лет назад

How much additional weight can the tricopter lift? is it possible to mount a gimbal, camera and video transmitter?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

I have a GoPro and FPV transmitter on mine and I never go full throttle because it just climbs to fast. I'm sure if you added a gimbal it would be a bit sluggish, But I think it could handle it.

@tylerlikes296 10 лет назад

How much did this whole project cost?

@electrodog10 10 лет назад

Great video!!! What audio recorder do you use?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Zoom h2n

@electrodog10 10 лет назад

Lucas Weakley Do you think the Zoom H1 would be good for video?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

electrodog10 Yes, that is a fantastic mic too.

@jeanbernardcondet3313 8 лет назад

à quoi sert de mettre un lien vers le site d' achat si il faut un mot de passe pour y accéder ?????

@oreubens 10 лет назад

The tricopter kit website doesn't mension this in detail enough... I'm guessing you only need one of the 4 items listed under flight controllers ? Is there a markable difference between them ? Is there a "best" ?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Episode 4 will go into depth about these boards, so stay tuned.

@nate.bailey 10 лет назад

Go David

@gedichten4all 10 лет назад

is the GoPro mount also included?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

No, but they will be available separately soon.

@AaronFlaming 10 лет назад

Are the patterns for the frame parts going to be available for those of us who would like to make them on our own?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Yes, They will be on the Maker Hangar Page.

@AaronFlaming 10 лет назад

Lucas Weakley Great! I am looking forward to the rest of these videos, thanks in advance.

@TeenyTinyMoose 10 лет назад

what is the max flight time a tricopter can take advantage of?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

12 minutes

@doingthisfor25years 10 лет назад

Think you might package up a suggested electronics kit and save us all some shopping time? Feel free to add a reasonable markup!

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

If there is enough demand I will consider it.

@doingthisfor25years 10 лет назад

Lucas Weakley Consider this vote #1.

@brianwalsh5606 10 лет назад

I'd also like that. Mostly because the kit could be built for your parts so modification wouldn't been needed as much. Heck if you made a MIT that included ever part including the camera I'd consider it.

@iKendyCom 10 лет назад

Support support!

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Well, telling everyone to order from the same place I get my parts from was a bad idea lol. Most of the important components of the tricopters have been out of stock for weeks and that means I can't get them to make the kits that include electronics. I'll be looking out for the parts to come back in stock, but are you guys still interested in purchasing these kits? Thanks

@5lugfury352 10 лет назад

Just get a simple copter...mine serves me well

@devNan0 10 лет назад

Is there a way to ship to Europe ?

@LucasWeakley 10 лет назад

Yes, you can use the international shipping option.

@Prence 10 лет назад

HMMMM, this would be great with the addition of a GPS module, camera, and a Arduino. You could program the Arduino with GPS points for the drone to follow and get video. Be great to patrol your property if you have land that has hard to access parts. Have the drone fly out there, get pics or video and fly back, all unmanned.

@rafalpilat145 10 лет назад

A quadrocopter would probably be better for things like this becouse its more stable.

@Prence 10 лет назад

True, but this is DYI. and that's what makes me more interested in it.

@rafalpilat145 10 лет назад

Prence What do you mean by "DYI"?

@Prence 10 лет назад

rafalpilat145 Really, I meant DIY. But you knew what I was talking about. If not I can't help you.

@rafalpilat145 10 лет назад

Prence I was thinking you were probably talking about DIY but i just wanted to make sure. Also, You could also custom make a quadrocopter and that will also be DIY, A quadrocopter would be better for connecting an arduino, and making it controll the drone so it flies without anyone controlling it.
