Tricopter Build - Frame Assembly - eRC

This is the first video in this tricopter build series and it's one of the easiest steps - frame assembly. This video will show you step by step how to assemble Turnigy Talon Tricopter frame kit used in this build as well as some general tips and tricks.

There aren't many tricopter frames out on the market, especially not quality ones. Turnigy Talon Tricopter is not too expensive, full carbon fiber and aluminum frame. It does have some weak points, like tail assembly and tolerances, but all in all it's a great buy if you are looking to build a tricopter.

 Tips:

 1. Use threadlocker on EVERY screw where you have "metal on metal" contact. Multicopters create a lot of vibrations and if you don't use threadlocker screws will come undone and can cause a crash.

 2. Use MEDIUM strength threadlocker. These screws are very small and using high strength threadlocker could lock the screw so hard that you won't be able to unscrew it.

 You Need:

Turnigy Talon Tricopter Frame

Turnigy Talon Tricopter Extended Carbon Fiber Booms (380 mm)

1.5 mm Hex Screwdriver

2.0 mm Hex Screwdriver

2.5 mm Hex Screwdriver

5.5 mm Socket Screwdriver

Threadlocker (Medium Strength)

Needle-Nose Pliers
