Version 6 the Reversed TriCopter the last of the TriCopters again with the Plastic Bottle Canopy

 

Version 5 TriCopter built with PVC Pipe and Fittings with the now normal ball legs

Version 4 Sporting a painted Coca Cola Bottle Canopy and longer legs, Wifey complained heavily about the disappearing Plastics

Version 3 With different Plastics and Golf Practice Balls added to plastic bottle legs to help with orientation

Version 2 Now Sporting Wifey's Plastic Containers a Flight Cam and Plastic Bottle tops for legs.

Yes and Yes ... Electrical PVC Conduit 25mm, and if you build a Quad then a four way connecter box in the middle. Easy and cheap.
