Aeronavics / Droidworx SKYJIB 8 v2 SUPER LIFT - 4120 w/16in Props

[gotaerialllc]

Hello All,

So I decided to order up all the baddest of all multi-rotors, the SkyJib 8 w/retracts, AXI 4120 motors and 15inch props on 6s or 16inch props on 5s.

The build was incredibly simple and the manual is spot on. The only thing i changed is the top of the SkyJib. Since i mostly fly in a 2man fpv configuration, I need more places to mount things like my video antenna, gps antenna, dragon link antenna, etc...

The FCB is the HoverFly Pro w/ the HoverFly GPS
Camera gimbal is the Photohigher AV200

Hi Lanzar,

Im pretty sure the 16in props will fit just fine. Right now with the 15in props there is 1 1/2inches of space between the blades so the 16's should be just fine. I have a Skyjib 6 v1 and it can handle the 15in props just fine with 1/2in spacing between the blades.

Hi Kloner,

I have both 4120/20 and 4120/14. The 14's are on the octo and the 20's are on the hexa. I do loose some power when im flying at higher elevations but since i always over power my systems they seem be fine.

here is a behind the scene video from the reality show "Prospectors". I was flying my multi at 14,000agl over a mountain and although the multi was a little sluggish, everything worked out.

This video is with my small y6 (2820/14 motors and 13x6.5 props)
