I've never built or even flown a tricopter but I'd like to build one. I don't think I'd be too interested in putting a camera on the rig but, at least eventually, would like to be able to do flips and what not.

Here's what I'm thinking about buying...

simple tricopter frame $29.99

Is there anything that I will need that isn't on the list? Are any of the things on the list incompatible with one another? ie. charger doesn't go w/power supply? Receiver/transmitter sufficient for capabilities of board/rig?

I thank you for any advice you can give me.

Can I make that by splicing wire together or do I actually need a board?

That being said I guess I should have asked what am I missing that I can't get from home depot. Obviously I'll need some wire, solder, heat shrink.

Mr take no prisoners!
2-3S rated motor and 4S battery pack will most likely cause tears, not a fan of collet style prop adapters either.

Get a better power supply and better charger, spend it now and you will only spend once.

I might be happy to pay $5 for that frame, build one yourself for $4.
