Thanks in advance

Droidworx AD6 would be a good place to start, it can handle just about any combination of motors and ESCs you would want to use.

ya but that is too expansive 700- 1000 for just a frame . Has anyone used the xaircraft hexacopter frame ? what kind of motor and ESC can be used with that in order to left 3 - 4 kg any idea ?

You said heavy lift... better get the droidworx

lift 3-4 kg needs 6-8kg total lift 6-8kg/6motors= needed lift per motor

Xaircraft Hexa frame will not lift 3-4 kg. Max prop size you can fit is 10" and that is leaving a tiny gap between props .
For the Xair Hexa frame I find it flys better with 8" and 4s lipo.

Hi Paktazh,

I missed you there for a while, i have a similar set up you may looking for: Grand total weight is ( AUW) 2.9kg-no room for expansion
it flys very very nice, i believe you have seen these photos already….! it flew three times so far , first test no camera, second test with the Go Pro HD2 and last with the Panasonic Camcorder I'm debating ,which one is better to do the Aerial Video….both are posted in youtube ( still looking for sweet spot Gimbal gain little bit of everything )

Hi Paktazh,

i have seen these Gimbal already with the 500gaui mounted ,( friend of mind bought it at http://www.flyinghobby.com all package good deal) since its a three axis it require bit of modification to hold tight , other challenge part for you is the Battery mount

i have modded the frame the Hexa,so no longer is foldable make sure you apply every bolts and nuts with the LOCK TIGHT ( blue )...

I think this is a one of the best DJI FC out there at this moment , when its come to the Motors and Esc ...! Very few it becomes incompatible but I'm not expert ...

Yes.. you are right its a 800kv Tiger motor and their Esc 30a both are meant for Multirotors.( excellent performance)
The Battery 2 x 5000 mah 3s flying time 12 minutes max .
