Hi guys,
I'm putting together a component list for my first aircraft built for aerial video work. I was originally planning a hex but reading on experience from people here I've decided to go for a Y6.
The question now, though, is should I go with a 900mm frame or 1200mm? I haven't calculated which motors / props I will need yet (to lift a DSLR on a 3-axis gimbal) but I have the impression a 900mm frame wouldn't be too small.
Is there any other reason than physically fitting everything in that I might want the larger frame? I'm guessing wider is more stable? Or maybe less stable in wind?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
