Always wondered about Tricopters ever since I saw my son's which had some issues. I bought the Quanum Trifecta from HK, the initial build was with an Align servo for the Tail, soon found out that was wrong as it rotates the wrong direction and while you can reverse the servo direction in the TX I could not get the servo and the yaw gyro to work together, so I relented and purchased a cheap Turnigy servo as recommended. The first flights have been very encouraging, it hovers easily at about half throttle, has plenty of punch on an S3 battery, and is hardly effected by wind, it cuts through the it like a flying brick.
An interesting point that I learned during the build process is that when using a Nase32 the motor direction has no effect providing you use the appropriate prop, yaw is only provided by the rear prop which is tilted by the servo, I have all three motors running CW when Cleanflight recommends CCW when I checked in MMIX the yaw setting is set to Zero.
