First Flight of my Tricopter (and CAD Progress)

So finally finished the frame of my tricopter and attempted the first flight earlier today (Video Below)

(It was rather windy when I flew this)

I have done a few more flights (videos on my YouTube Channel) but I dont have enough space so keep crashing (and I'm pretty bad at flying it at the moment)

soon I should be building another frame, but need to finalise the CAD model of it first. At this stage its going to be made from Aluminium square tube and 5mm Polycarb. I just need to work out a good system for the battery/camera tray that will hang underneath the tricopter. (Below are the renders of the current CAD Model)

Above is the render with the landing gear at the end of the booms

Above is the render with the landing gear nearer to the middle of the Tricopter
