Naze32 Tricopter frame setup 

Wow! ...and $41 for the frame plates is an amazing deal! Frame Plates + PDB + Naze32! Thanks for not charging us way more than this! I wasn't planning on building another but I'm rethinking that now just because of this frame.

Wow. This must be the most high quality tutorial I've ever seen. Good for absolute beginners but interesting enough for people with experience.

your tricopter design was already amazingly simple and well thought out this is amazing!

I was just thinking about this today; I even started designing the PCB. Your designs are always so well thought through and elegant. Super awesome!

Hi David, very nice build video. I am very happy that you continue to helps us and make a appearance in the rc world . Throught that your return back to your home land was the last we would hear or see of you. Thank you, for making the rc world a most enjoyable experience.

Hey David, It's great to see you on RU-vid again. Your doing a great job as usual. Thanks for all your hard work.

It's the best video and the most clear I've ever seen on the Naze32 configuration. Good job David !

I've just had my first test flight with the new Naze board. WOW! It's unbelievably stable (NAZA V2 with GPS like stable) but also agile and pretty much perfect. The best single upgrade I've experienced since I put a SSD in my PC. I spent hours fiddling the PID's on the KK2 board (KK2 board for sale). Thanks David.

Pushing the limits of RC...and fashion! I love the flannel shirt and white bowtie!

IVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH DAVID! COME BACK TO MERICA

Hi David. 2 years after getting into RC and 14 multirotor builds later I'm just about to embark on my first Tri build (once I've finished my latest Armattan F1-6 quad!). The V3.5 kit I received from you last week looks great. Fantastic job on the setup guide and build log! Both look pretty comprehensive so there's plenty of reference info. My work colleague +IwancnobiRC (who posted a V3 RU-vid review and also has a recent Mini Tri build under his belt) is on hand to provide some local help over here in Scotland so hopefully I shouldn't hit any major roadblocks! I'll be running a 4S long flight time setup using EMax 2216-850Kv & DYS BL30A ESCs. Cheers, Steve :-)

Excellent work David! Great instructional video! I can only hope you'll find time to do more as it's a joy to see you on screen again.

I flashed my regular Naze32 Acro with this firmware and my mini tricopter now flies great! Thank you sooo much for this!!!

I love your new video!! You can see you got better in cinematography and your products are so epic!

Nice one Dave, nice to see you again

Wish you the best sir! I really like your hard work! I never have a vertical rotor before in my life, but you are making me seriously consider it. Thanks for posting.

David, keep on your work! Please don't disappear! :-) Cannot wait to see more of your work! Cheers!

Thanks David, just when I thought my Tricopter was finally finished a new upgrade comes out. Can't wait to try it out! Brilliant :)

I was ready to give up on cleanflight on my tricopter, tons of servo jitter and problems centering. This is sooooo helpful, thanks!

The Tricopter is going to be your legacy. The electronics side of the new board is a little outside of my learning curve, but I might have to challenge myself. I built a v2.6HV so long ago , I can't wait to purchase one of these.

Awesome work as usual David!! Loved it

I miss David so much! What an amazing rig! I hope you make some more videos soon. O and I'm buying this Tricopter for sure!

Love to see the improvement over your tricopter frame David! (will eventually purchase it lol) Love the work done and also wanted to thank you for the great quality on your booms! I love the carbon booms purchased from you! my RCExplorer tricopter fly's great but sadly the flips and rolls training did not end well... quick tip, try to remember where you added all the functions when programming your radio and don't hit the disarm on middle flight... tricopters don't float like sailplanes! Don't know why... lol Cheers and keep up the great work David! Ed

Some really useful Naze32 setup stuff in there, thanks!

Definitely the next level of entertainment. Great video! Can't wait to try the Naze!

Okay this looks very nice! The editing is fantastic and commentary isnt boring haha

This is awesome! I guess it's time to upgrade my tricopter. Cheers for all your work.

Ayy! The crazy swede is back! Good you see you david!

Great video David. That little red hand is hilarious!!

Awesome Vid David , cheers from Down Under (Australia) .

God bless you david, for everything you do for us.

Brilliant tutorial David. Thank you. I'll be trying this out on my Turnigy Talon tricopter. I got it at the beginning of the month and started the build. I've put a Naze32 Acro board on it, set it up with Cleanflight and flew it with the standard settings. It flys quite well but the tail authority and yaw rate is appalling!. Once again, thanks David.

RCExplorer.se changing the rc world, one idea at a time.

Flitetest is not the same without you anymore, David! Come back soon!!

I'm more of a plane guy than a helicopter guy, but I still watch Davids videos all the time because the production quality is amazing and... Well... Let's be honest here, Davids voice is beautiful :P Keep up the good work!

This is amazing David!

Masterful innovation David,

Hey David, in case you didn't know. They have an RCExlorer tricopter default setting that you can select when setting up an open pilot CC3D board. It flies better than anything I've been able to do. But then I suck at tuning. I can bend some piano wire though.

Just awesome Dave!

... nice video, David :-) ... great idea to get the Naze32 as part of the frame.

Hi David! Soooo good to see you making videos on your own! Best of luck! I want to get into DLG. Can you please make some recommendations? What is your favorite and best DLG made in Europe? Thanks!

Very Intelligent idea David... I just received my Naze32 Tricopter PCBs..Ultra Fast and affordable Shipping. Thanks.

We miss you david! Your voice is so soothing ;) Great video, I haven't managed to order one yet as i have been busy with work. I will get one soon! 73 de M6EXH

Great idea David and the set up looks really easy which is always a good thing,well for me it is. :-)

Awesome build! You are sadly missed on flite test. Not the same since you went home, but, I understand. Keep up the awesome designs and videos!

Really nice to see you, doing what you do best :) I LOLed at the red hand pointer :D

Looking good David

Good work David. *_thumbs up._*

Thanks for a concise and detailed setup explanation... Without a doubt, the single best description of setting up a Naze32 with CleanFlight. I can't wait to try it out on my pentacopter. And I can see a tricopter frame in my future as part of my growing fleet of RC aircraft. Have you noticed odd behavior in v1.9.0 regarding setting the receiver Yaw servo reversal? I wasn't able to select/save this setting in 1.9.0, but could in 1.8.1.

Very nice Dave.

Excellent Looks like I have to get back into tricopters now :)

excellent video david

Oh hello David is been a while . good to know you steel alive and well

Having problems with my kk2 controlled tcopter with yaw. I'm gonna try this on a naze32 board. Thanks David

Nice complete setup video. I'll try that custom firmware om my tricopter because I have problems with a kind of flutter om the yaw servo with Cleanflight on a Flip32+ if you can recommend it. Had the same with a Pixhawk. Hope the new tricopter code will find it's way to the main branch of CF.

Looks amazing!

This channel is awesome

As normal David takes the normal to a new high level. Thanks David This looks Awesome...

Thank you David! I do have a quick question. If I were to change the set servo_pwm_rate = 250 to a value of 50 could I use an analog servo? I thank you for all you do!

David, that motor/ prop setup looks awesome. What motors and props are they? Great video btw :D

I am in love with this tricopter! Worth every penny and then some :) my question is, anyway of adding gps to this setup? RTH on this beast would be astounding! Thank you so much for all your hard work David, the quality of this multirotor is something to behold.

YES A NEW VIDEO!

thank you,i been thinking of building a tri,and now i will.With the setting you did ,does it matter on the size of the tri-cxopter? The size of the motor and the size of the arms and props?

Can you do a video where you compare different prop and motor combos that have approx same amount of lift? Like large prop slower rotating, smal prop high rev. 3 blade vs 3 blade. Really love your videos. Keep up the great stuff

Wirklich viel besser, Danke! Für mein analoges Servo musste allerdings "servo_pwm_rate" runter gestellt werden, von 330Hz auf 50Hz, jetzt ist alles perfekt! Sonst ist 50Hz default, bei dieser Firmware nicht...

Brilliant video David, assuming the custom software works for all tricopters with a Naze 32. Should I run this on my Triclone Tricopter? I learned a lot here so thank you again for your great work. PS Love Dave Knop I have followed him for years on Quick FX ATB Malc

I had an idea for a tricopter and with my knowledge I have no clue if it is feasible but back to the topic. I think it would be awesome to have a tri with a single boom forward and then call it the wavelength because the sign for wavelength is an upside down y

Love your work, you always pack so much into every video. Got a question that is burning me up. If you know Steveis, do you reckon you can ask him if he can help make the gimbal work with Cleanflight on a Tricopter? Only works on quadcopter and I really miss my tilt gimbal for high speed runs.

Hallo David, this is a nice Video Tutorial. I have a little question. When you calibrate the ESC, the Max Throttle is 1900. Should not previously a calibration, set the maximum gas to 2000 and after to the calibrate set again to 1900?

Great video thanks for the work.

Hmmmm! I wonder what this would on a penta-copter! After all, it is just an enhanced tri. Very interesting. Thanks David.

Hi David super great video, I wonder if I can do the same with a Naze32 acro board mounted on the Tricopter v1 like in the first video you did. also the links above shows the same page , I do not find the code.

Wow, awesome video manual. Thank you! I have one question. Is this firmware suitable for any other tricopter with naze32 with baro? I'm really interesting in fly again on mini trifecta tricopter (after miniAPM was burned) with altitude hold. Thank you again =)

Fantastic video! Very detailed and very clear! Love the little red hand lol Very cheap setup, i might grab one if you don't mind :p Thanks for sharing and have a great new week

Hey David, thanks for great video can i use provided firmware with Flip32+ flight controller?

was just thinking the other day someone should integrate the FC to the frame and here it is :) since the FC is part of the frame and there is no vibration dampening, how will that affect it ?

nice work, thanks David :)

Awesome new product! I'd love to get that, or at least get a Naze board and flash it with the special firmware. I'd like to see more FPV videos though, like going to different places having fun. Kind of like Team Black Sheep except the quad in their videos always just hovers around, whereas the tricopter rarely dips below 10 MPH XD

Was 2 days too soon on the order, so i bought Tri without naze. I still had a naze32 board lying around, so all good. My question is. Can i run front motor nr.3 CW and motor nr.2 CCW? Setup on mine is the same as in this video, where all motors spin same direction.

Nicely Done!

Thanks David!

Outstanding. I want to order one

You're just such a cool dude!

About time

Looks good david !....

When will the integrated power distribution frames be back in stock David, i'll wait and buy a bunch of stuff for my first foray into tricopters...

I wish I could give this another thumbs up, I enjoyed the video and can't wait until I get the cash to buy this!

Hey david, how bout working on a camera gimbal? in any event, keep up the great work!

So would this firmware be better for my trifecta currently running standard cleanflight? Great tips on the servo.....I've been setting mine up all wrong

I am having trouble for some reason with the accelerometer when it calibrates and shows right side up it will move in opposite direction but with online firmware it works perfectly. all other steps including CLI I did with no problem

fantastic work, i may have to TRI your settings pun intended.

Hey David! so incredible tricopter! I would like to build one like it in the future! Also, what si the song at the minute 15:00? thx!

Is there any videos on were to solder everything? I am looking at the frames and see two + and - spots at every spot. And were do I add the battery connector? I have never built something like this (only planes) so I am a bit lost.

Damn.. I just ordered the 'normal' version of the frame ;) Very interesting though! I might order this one as well.. Thanks for the good info video!

Yay David! thank you & AWESOME!!!

David im setting up a naze32 (not built in frame) can you tell me as you use hitec, I have A9 as well. Can the minima6t receiver be used to connect via ppm,cppm or sbus? even the optima9? I cant find details of how to do it but I see at 4:00 you have a 9 connected. Is that only due to your frame type (built in naze) or can a naze (funfly) be configured the same way?thanks for your help.

Hi David, One thing is really confusing, is there a reason the trimmed input for yaw should be the the same value but opposite sign entered as yaw serwo output?

I just want some multi rotor fun would you recomend a tricopters or quadvopyer

Hi David, Mine's just arrived and I was wondering if the naze32 on this frame is able to accept GPS and/or MinimOSD? thanks.

David Windestål When do you think you will visit the Flite Test crew again? I miss you on the show!
