Just a novice drone pilot trying to find his way


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I've built hexacopters almost exclusively. Right now I'm flying an HMF S550 hex with SunnySky 2212 980kV motors, 30A Afro ESC with SimonK, and using 8045 SF props. I use zippy compact 4S lipos and a Turnigy 9x TX/RX. My FC is an APM 2.5
