Maker Hangar Is back with two new aircraft builds this season, a tricopter and another airplane! In this episode, I talk about what a tricopter is and some of its advantages over other multicopters. We also take a look into the kits that are being sold for this year.

If you haven’t already watched the first Season of Maker Hangar, check it out! There is a lot of great information, and if you are completely new to the hobby definitely start there. Be sure to check out the Maker Hangar Tricopter Kit, and the additional parts you’ll need to built it on its product page.

Hi! My name is Lucas Weakley. I have recently graduated from a magnet program at Forest High School called EMIT. One of the many things we did in EMIT was work on a robot that we use to compete at the FIRST Robotics Competition. EMIT also introduced me to drafting and now I am certified in AutoCAD. I have been accepted into Embry Riddle Aeronautics University and will be attending this fall. My degree will be in Aerospace Engineering (if you couldn’t have guessed) and I plan to minor in business and aircraft maintenance.
