I wanted to see if I could use my Tricopter frame and add additional arms for an offset/asymmetrical quadcopter. I drew it up and made sure that I wouldn't have any unforeseen issues with mounting.
I grabbed some G10, my new 1/8th chip breaker bits and loaded it into my cnc machine. My machining time with the chip breaker bits was around 15 minutes which is a great improvement over the regular end mills that were taking over an hour to machine a frame.
I made the same landing gears as my Tricopter 3.2 and the frame is based on my Tricopter 3.3 revision that includes a new camera/battery tray mount that is held on with woodscrews and quarter inch vinyl tubing.
I flew this using Multiwii in X mode and it actually flies relatively well. I still have to addjust a few of the PID settings as it is drifting and the yaw is slow, well slower than a tricopter.
