I just built a tri-copter. Here's what I used:
Frame: http://shop.flitetest.com/multirotors/bat-bone-tri-370-kit/ http://shop.flitetest.com/multirotors/bat-bone-tri-370-kit/ but you can easily build a frame yourself from either wood or aluminum towel holder bars from home depot.
Flight controller: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=24723&aff=247441 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idp... I have this one, the 2.0, but there's a 2.1 out now too.

That's all the major parts. You'll need a few odds and ends like propellers, servo extensions, connectors for the battery and ESCs, etc. Hobbyking sells a power distribution board you can use if you don't want to make your own wiring harness.
