My new Y6 CC

[Jake Bullit]

Just finished building my Y6.A bit of tidying up and finishing off to do.
Frame is a Rusty UAP-1,18 AMP esc,4s battery,with some cheapo 10" props for now ,as Electricwingman seems low on stock.

Weighs 1.63kg, 2.12kg with 1x 4s battery.

Not flown yet ,as it dark and windy outside.Hope those torxpowers are man enough ,it feels quite heavy(not weighed it).

Only spooled it up in the kitchen so far,the esc that carries ground and power seems quite warm.

Hopefully get some testing in over the weekend.

Looks very nice - ESP the wires in the arms

Please don't fly it like that.
The bec in the esc is rated at 2 amps with a 7.4 volt suppl on 14.8 volts it will get very hot and either shut down or catch fire, seen it happen

Please run a seperate battery or sbec for the electronics

Hi Jake, yea , you need a thing called a BEC or SBEC or UBEC (battery eliminator) they take the battery voltage, and drop it down to 5 volts and 3-8 amps , a dedicated supply.

guess I'll have to use a splitter, as all the servo ports are taken ?

[matwelli]

servo ports on the FC board? You could plug it into a spare port on the receiver, or on one of the esc plugs where you have removed the red and black wire, just inset the red and pack pins from the BEC

 

[Jake Bullit]

got ya,thanks

Just waiting for the SBEC to arrive.Of course I meant ESC pins,just openpilot describes them as servo ports(heli thing).

Typically there is no wind here today when I could be testing.

She flies...

Just managed to squeeze a quick test flight in after work.It was a little breezy and I`m` just using stock configuration for CC at the mo.But at least everything is working reasonably well.Batteries weren`t fully charged ,so I`m not sure what the flight time will be on the 4s.
Only managed this quick flight today,hopefully the weather will be calmer at the weekend.

Sorry about the camera work,just had my wingcam blue tacked to the TX ,and the aerial was in shot.

Thanks to Mat for the tip,fitted the SBEC today.
