Hey guys, over the last 12 months I have built 3 x Mikrokopter Hexa's for aerial photography, all using MK gear,
I recently built a Hexa using $14 motors, $12 speed controllers, MK boards and a I2c bus to PWM converter, it flies exactly the same as a MK which
costs 4 times as much, why are so many pilots using the more expensive gear ? is it because like myself until you get experience you just
don't know about other options ? convential ESC's are so much more robust and easier to wire up, easier to source,
same with common motors and in the event of a crash because of the cost being so low it is much cheaper to rebuild.
I did not even alter and MK tool gyro settings, it just flew the same as the other MK hexa's.
