Foldable Talon Carbon Fiber Tricopter for sale--SOLD

[donandtheresa]

Selling my foldable tricopter. This is a Turnigy Talon Tricopter carbon fiber. I have flown this with gopro2 with no issues. It will come with these motors: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...trSearch=28-26 . It has Simon K 30amp esc. Camera mount with GoPro adapter. The tail servo is this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...trSearch=28012
This is a larger servo that the tricopter originally is made for. I do have the original carbon fiber servo mount if you would like to go back to stock size, but I think you will love how quick this one reacts. I have flown it with both the 8x6 that are on it and the 10x4.7 slowflys that will come with it. I run it on 3s and 4s both. It will also come with 2 extra carbon fiber booms, 1 for the side arm 1 for the tail, a couple extra props. The yellow lead coming off the power supply is for a voltage alarm. Now for the bad. Last week I went to power it up and the KK2.1 board would not boot up. So the KK2.1 board comes with it but at this time it doesn't seem to work. Up until this point I have flown this thing without any issues. I have decided I want to build a larger quad copter and do not want to dismantle the beautiful tricopter I have just for some esc and motors. So I am selling this to help fund the quad copter. I do have a video of it flying on youtube that shows how nice it flys. Will remove props and fold down the tricopter for shipping. The video can be found at :

I am hoping to see $250 shipping included in the ConUS, but don't be afraid to send me an offer.
Hope you all have Happy Holidays.

I'm new to this so please forgive dumb questions. I enjoy flying the smaller multi rotor but I have not invested in anything expensive. This seems quite inexpensive. What else would I need and would you recommend something different for a "newbie". Cuz

Well you would need a flight control board anywhere from $35 to $300 depending on what you bought, and a receiver for your radio(spectrum/futaba or whatever your radio is). How well do you fly the small multirotor. I think the tri is alittle more difficult than a quadcopter, but easier than a CP helicopter. I would say if you have it set up correctly that its not hard to fly in stability mode, but if you take it out of stability mode it can be very tricking to fly. If you just started in the hobby I would probably buy a RTF setup as this does take some work with setup.
Hope that helped.

I've been looking at building one of these out. The best I could do is $200 shipped if you still have it.

I'm sorry this was sold about 11 months ago. I just forgot to mark it sold.
