Vintage Tricopter Rebuild: From Crash To Flight!  @ImaginationTech
Uploaded July 2023 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
I doubt there's much demand for tricopters these days, but I occasionally like doing videos like this and it makes me happy to share my tricopter, and remind myself I do videos primarily for me but if you guys enjoy them too then that's icing on the cake! This thing took its sweet time in the backburner as I worked on several different projects, but bit by bit I've bee able to rebuild it and redesign it for modern electronics. Though not quite as popular as a quadcopter these days, there's still lot of development and interest in tricopters, so be sure to check out the RCGroups Tricopter Forum as well!

If you'd like, you can buy me coffee for whatever reason here! :)
