To the FliteTest Community,
The MESArcFF team was fortunate enough to receive two tough tilts from Josh and the FliteTest gang a couple weeks back and we were planning to create a tricopter and Dragonfly setup with the equipment when it was mentioned by a couple students that we should try a Dualcopter instead since we had never ventured in a multirotor like this before. It was a lot of fun trying to figure this copter out since our initial finding of info on the build was nowhere to be found. We did however come across this forum on Rcgroups that made the process super easy, we highly recommend that if you plan to create a dual copter to read and follow this forum. With the exception of personal setups and tech differences, he was spot on in terms of directions.

So a HUGE thank you goes out to Robertoho for creating this forum, you rock man! In terms of parts we highly recommend the KK2 board, stand TX and RX, standard 450 size multirotors, the TOUGH TILT, and the servos FliteTest sells with them. It was very cheap to construct since it doesn't require too many parts, and the frame was a used Heli we got from a donated mall copter.
Here is Jake working on the original setup before switching over to the new equipment.
The Dualcopter performance is pretty much just a hover, however, they look so cool!
Tough Tilts were the way to go for this project, very easy for the students to work with.
A big thanks goes out the Robertoho for creating the forum and FliteTest for suppling the group with those Tough Tilts.
