In this video Malc shares a little footage of the prototype Triclone tricopter in flight. The intension of the outing was to test the new airframe components for strength and rigidity, 1960kv Cobra motor set up for compatibility while running 4S and to gauge flight time.

08.37hrs Triclone crashed in full speed level flight resulting in head over heals rolls hitting both front arms and yaw mech from the side - result zero damage battery adjusted and continued to fly.
09.10 battery test resulting in 6 minute acro flight from 1000mah 4s.
Summary - Triclone v1 successful crash test subject.
