Excelsior Bravo - Tilt-rotor Tricopter v2.0

This is the second iteration of my vectored thrust Tricopter!

Important: See [Instructions] tab for parts list, link to custom flight controller firmware, and build tips.

I've built two versions using these parts, described by the length of the front (cross) tube:

Alpha: 290mm

  • 100w motors
  • 7 x 4.5 x 3 props
  • 1300 - 1500 mAh 3S battery
  • no battery tray

Bravo: 390mm

  • 286w motors
  • 8 x 4.5 or 9 x 4.5 props
  • 3000 mAh 3S or 4S battery
  • battery tray
  • camera / FPV capable
    • can easily carry a GoPro Hero 3 / 4

These are my variants, but feel free to be creative and try something different!!
