Hi all,I'm reposting this discussion hoping to get a response. I uploaded 2.5.5 after erasing eeprom on APM2, and when I went to the radio calibration screen, the Yaw "bar" value was at 1640 (off…Continue

Can I access the tlogs from mission planner?"
James Dinh replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"Just for the record,
You don't need to be mislead by any of my statements. I'm pretty much new to all of this and am only giving some observations of my own. I'm not a scientist and don't have much time to call this…"
"I have those props... I think i have them... they are 9x6 and awful :D very soft and out of balance. Anyhow the specc for these motors state they can work with 4s lipo as well but i was wondering if anyone can confriem it. I will be using 10x3.8 SF…"
Phil Cramer replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"Here's a thread you might find worthwhile
http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/real-world-props-test?id=705844%3...
The originator of the thread concluded that 12x3.8 APC props were a best compromise for the various motors tested. I had chosen…"
Phil Cramer replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"James,
You got "a few more minutes" of hover time. How many is "a few"?
You think a quad at 2.3 kgs is heavy. So how much do your 5000 mAh LiPos weight by themselves? And what camera are you using. GoPros are light. Better cams…"
dudz replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"Thanks James. I like rigidity.
Home depot ? Thats funny. I live in France where you have to special order parts that are "on the shelf" in the US. Ebay is my closest Home Depot.
Nice build. I hate the flimsy booms that come with most…"
James Dinh replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"Dudz,
2.3kgs on a quad seems heavy. My hexa with a full load of (2) 5000mah lipos, and camera weighs in at 3.2 kgs. I got a few more minutes of hover time after adding a high performance castle creations BEC to the circuit. While…"
Don Fiedler replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"I understand for a TriHex the bottom prop needs to be larger, if I have 12:45 on the bottom, what would be the best for the top, or if I put the 12:45 on the top, what should the bottom be, thanks....Don"
Phil Cramer replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"dudz, I have to think a lot of the variance in flight times depends on how the pilot decides when to end the flight. Is the pack voltage monitored in-flight? Does the quad get sluggish? What actual percentage of the pack remains and how is that…"
dudz replied to James Dinh's discussion What's the best prop and prop size for hexa with 880kv motors?"Hi James,
That's an impressive flight time ! .. On my quad weighing 2.3kgs with 880kv motors and 12x3.8SF props I get 14mins with a 3S 8000mah lipo.
I am going to strip it down and build a Hexa next. I am looking at longer flight times more…"

James Dinh replied to James Dinh's discussion Kudos to the customer support team at 3DR!"Hi Austin,
You need to first email your problem to help@3drobotics.com. They will then email you back with a response. They are usually very quick, within a few days at most. Good luck.

Jeff Milay said… For Sure! This is my first APM2 project. APMv2 on xAircraft Hexa Frame. Learning as I go. I finally got it flying in Acro mode right now. Stable mode wants to pitch back so trying to tune that currently! Any ideas from your experience?

Rod Cole said… Thanks for the update on your Hexa. I bought three 24 inch towel bars from Home Depot and cut them in half for the Hexa that I am building. I cut four 8 inch booms from the same material for my quad, on which I want to learn to fly before building the Hex. Started with a really fancy Octa frame made from G-10 fiberglass and TRex-500 boom tubes, but was having problems keeping the motors vertically aligned on the booms, so I sold that frame and downgraded to a Hex for my camera ship. My partner designed the airframe and has a great flying Hex carrying a Canon T3i with a Wookong M autopilot.
