Avroto motor contest winner build Y6

[kokamintti]

Hello all of you out there!

I was the lucky one to win the "Beyond the Hover" -contest organized by Multirotor Forums and Monto RC. Prize was six Avroto 2814 short shaft motors.

EDIT: original thread: http://www.multirotorforums.com/sho...*-Motors-Contest-Giveaway!!-Beyond-the-hover!

I wanted to build a Y6 multicopter, my second one. I started flying multicopters this summer and the first one I built was mainly for to practise flying.

The build isn't finished yet, some 30 hrs of building and planning so far. FC is HF pro and I just heard the Navi board is on its way to Finland now.

Here's the original plan. I haven't drawn the landing gear 'cos they are finished allready. More or less.

Motor plates are glued with elastic (silicone?) glue to damp at least some of the vibrations.

Marking tape to border the glue and peel of the excess

The fix to make 1mm space fot the glue between motor plate and arm.

Screws are in place for glueing the opposite motor plate exactly in the right place.

The opposite motor plate glued

I had to reinforce the center plates with some aluminium profiles. I might have to redesign the center plates. I think they are too weak, only 1,5mm cf. But we'll see that after the first flights.

Motor to motor about 70cm.

I made one spare arm as well

And the motors! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me when I mounted them. The process of putting the wires go through the 12x12x1mm aluminium arm was not easy. But I'm happy with the result!



Thank you all, I'll get back to you soon,

Hi Mika, the build is looking good. Also, good idea to make a spare arm, it will be quick to replace if it gets damaged.

ESCs in place.

HF Pro board will sit on a bottom plate of a polycarbonate box

View attachment 1119

Board installed. Only one red cable going into the board from the ESCs. I might ad a BEC later to do the job. In front is a modified LC filter from dpcav. Changed the capacitor to bear 4s lipo voltage. ESCs are boxed with front and back wall off for ventilation. We'll see if additional holes are needed to provide enough cooling.

I'm going with two Orange receivers in satellite mode to provide up to 14 channels.

I've fitted the antennas in a track I've made to the top cover of the box.

All the electronics boxed. Still very easy access if necessary.
