Here is my latest creation...

A first person view tricopter. T configuration with a gap at the intersection to mount the camera. This is to prevent propellers from getting in the camera view.

I'm still working on it, but I thought I was at a point now where I can share.

WOW very cool!

I'm not involved in the DIY copter scene but I've never seen a design like that.

post a video as soon as that thing is airborne!!

Looks neat, what controller are you using with that?

I'm using a 3DR PixHawk. Full of cool features and hasn't let me down yet.

My previous design.
