I cannibalized my Naza F450 kit to create a larger, more powerful hexa. In spite of having a bit of finishing touches left (like covering/hiding the electronics), I must say I’m really pleased with the first couple of brief test flights. Still to do is some fine tuning of the flight controls, and in-flight testing of the camera mount & gimbal. And there will likely be some experimentation of batteries and props.
Here’s the particulars if you’re interested:
From the F450, I borrowed the Naza flight controller and the four ESCs. To that I added:
I had absolutely no difficulty migrating or configuring the Naza to the new platform. During the process I also incorporated gimbal control and it worked fine during ground testing. The AUW is 5lb. 9oz. (2514g) without battery or camera. Here’s a pic:
