It's been rainy for a few days and it looks the rain will continue smashing the ground. So I couldn't do any further tests. I attached some leds to the arms and did a simple LED distribution board (I copied it from Gunter! :) ). Photos and videos will come soon. Dave, I think I will need some...

Hi Ben, Nice design. Do you think 2mm fiberglass (G10) material will be rigid enough for the camera mount?

Hello Ben, For a 5.6kg AUW and: MT2826 / KV550 motors. When a 14x4.7 or something like 13x6 is used, enought thrust is generated with 6 motors (you'll have approximately 880 gr extra payload capacity). But with this combination, you will notice that your gas stick will be at 3/5 position for...

In the latest Wookong M manual, just check 10th page. It says: http://www.dji-innovations.com/en/files/wookong-m/WooKong_M_User_Manual_en.pdf

You can add a cable extension to the Lipo with 12AWG cable. You will just need 4 inches silicon cable. Then, you can solder 12AWG to XT60.

Gunter, I'll land to London on 19th and I have a business meeting until 20th. So I'm off starting from Friday. I'll send you a PM, maybe I can join you and share the fuel.

You need to use Futaba Sbus if you want octo configuration + camera stabilization. Or as you said, you need convert to Hexa if you're using other Rx/Tx system.

Berneoben, If you're willing to use MT2826, just be sure that you have enough long arms to carry at least 13" props. Since the KV value is low on MT2826, you will need bigger props to have enough thrust on these motors. I would recommend 14x4.7, 14x4 or 13x6 with MT2826. Even you use 15" prop...

You will have to use 5.5 mm bullet connectors on the Lipo, I hade the same problem. Just make a converter using 12 AWG cable. (Ofcourse you gonna need extra pair of bullet connectors.) If you can hold until the meeting, I can bring a converter to you :)

Boris, I'm very excited to see the results of your setup. If Herkules II works with DJI W-M much better than standart ESCs, I'll be very glad.

Jes, as far as I know, RC Timer doesn't has A2836/9. They have BC2836-9 (which have 10 of them :) ), and I suspect they would be enough for Gunters. Did you mean A-3536/9 or BC3536-11? http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=399&productname=...

Hey CMonterio, I think that's a XAirCraft? Can you explain what you did :)

Easiest way is to use a 9V battery. If there's a short, it will not blow the BL Ctrls.

Ok, here are the pictures first: I had a problem with seeing the front of the craft with flat Hexa. Now, it's easier. Additionally, I added a small boom to the front, so it will be much easier to recognize the nose when flying high. (That extra empty CFK boom doesn't exist in the design...

Setting up Y6 conf easy with MKTool. Just copy paste this configuration file into notepad and save as Y6.mkm: To load this .mkm file to your copter is easy. In MK Tool, click on FlightCtrl and then click Settings while pressing Alt. I thing they've changed the behaviour with 0.86 firmware...

Hey Gunter, You're over the limit accroding to ecalc, which I believe a very successful tool in evaluating this kind of combos. * Your prop is big for that motor. It's gonna be very hot.I And I suspect your 30A ESC will handle that. f you lower the diameter of the prop, you won't have enough...

Hey Dave, I'm working extensively on the settings. So here my suggestions: You can start by increasing GPS-Acc. Normally it's set to 0. The higher value means, faster response of the GPS to the movements. (First try 2, then 4, then 6 and finally 8. ) ACC/Gyro Comp: Increase this step by step...

AFAIK, Droider and RTRyder are ones who has Y6 setups. RTRyder has a detailed topic about his findings about Y6 setup: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?760-Time-to-try-a-Y6

I'm building it right now, will post all details as soon as I fly and tune the copter.

Hello everyone, I'm converting my Flat Hexa to Y6 configuration. MKTool doesn't provide official Y6 mixer table, there are some mixer tables out there including this: http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/mkm Motor alignment: So, there are two important parts as far as I read: * Mixer table *...
