Here is footage from a recent Tricopter flight test. This is the aircraft that I based my Tricopter flight simulator model on.

I have created a free Clearview RC flight simulator model of the Tricopter model aircraft based upon the build thread at RC Groups: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1142429
The Tricopter model can be downloaded from the Clearview RC Model’s Page. Look at the bottom of the page under Andrew Hazelden Models: http://rcflightsim.com/models.html
The Tricopter model Requires ClearView ver. 5.14 or higher for proper control.
This the first version of the model.

This is my first flight simulator model. It was created with Maya and AC3D. The three Tricopter motors are controlled with simulated motor mixing and 3 gyros. The yaw axis motor mount tipping is also simulated and has a yaw gyro attached.
