Design and development of atypical multicopter with application of tricopter

Multicopter is a vertical takeoff and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Due to technological advances, low cost flight controller is available for general public to design and develop their own multicopter. However, odd rotor configuration multicopters are less commonly seen due to their unbala...
