Hello,
There is an issue with tricopters in 3d mode. The only function missing is that the rudder servo needs to reverse when the throttle goes negative. This is because the thrust angle on the rudder motor changes 180 degrees off from what the flight controller expects when the motors reverse. Currently, once a tricopter is inverted it spins uncontrollably.
Thank you for your help!

@catchthewind, @smarblewnec : Could you try this? http://firmware.baseflight.net/baseflight_NAZE_2015-03-04_09-43-00.hex
This is not flight tested obviously so maybe do a dry-run without props first? ;)

Hey guys, sorry I missed the progression on this. I can test it out within the next couple of days. I am also waiting for a part to arrive for my tricopter after I broke it this weekend.
