    Y6 versus Hexacopter....... Advantages one over the other? Chime in!!

    Just read something else interesting......If you have a smaller prop on the top rotor by 8%, efficiency is significantly increased because of the lower blades exposure to more clean air at the tips where a good portion of the total lift is produced. :nevreness: THATS COOL!!

    What are the advantages of a Y6 versus a Hex? :apathy: So far it looks like the Y6 can handle wind better than the Hex because of less surface area. Appears that most of the Y6 frames like the Vulcan Y6 CF are lighter. Any other reasons to be looking at a Hex? Thanks:nevreness:
