So this is my first post and multirotor build, I decided to make a simple tricopter and this is my progress so far. its made from 3 500ml sections of square dowel and 1 round sheet of aluminium that holds them all together. It was pretty much built from parts that I had lying around at home. At this stage I am not sure what electronics to use on it so any advice would be much appreciated :)
Below are picture of the build so far:
Above is the the frame at its current stage
Above is a close up of how I have mounted the beams
UPDATE:
I worked out a system to tilt the tair motor

A great tool for calculating flight time, battery use and thrust, is http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.htm.
If you make a setup like the one from David, use this link and click on calculate to see what is should bring you: http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.htm?ecalc&lang=en&cooling=2.5&rotornumber=3&weight=700&calc=auw&elevation=500&airtemp=25&qnh=1013&batteries=lipo_2500mah_-_35/50c&chargestate=0&s=3&p=1&esc=max_20a&motor=turnigy&type=35|d2836-11&gear=1&propeller=apc_slowfly_sf&diameter=10&pitch=4.7&blades=2
