Hi all,I'm upgrading my workhorse to version 1.2 soon, and the big step will be the change from quad to hex. For my pay loader project I need to be able have normal flight characteristics with 2kg of load.This will mean 6 x tmotor 3508-29's and 13" props (maybe 14" and flatter pitch). 6S.I would normally re-use my t-motor 30A opto pros - they're light, fit inside the frame (they're the same size as 4S units) and given good service.But stock issues and price means I can't get them. But perhaps there are better options? The criteria is:- 6S, 30a- no Simonk (big motors and autotune)- small and light.- ideally the barrels are not hard soldered.- ideally be OPTO, but am flexible.- not turnigy multistars (too big)- must work well with big motors- very reliable when run in 6SSo, in 2014, what are the recommendations? Maytech? Stick with t-motor?

unfortunately no answer to your question but a question from my side: Why "no Simonk (big motors and auto tune)"? Can you specify why? For me (4S, hexa, RCTimer 360KV, 15'', SimonK) autotune works perfect. The 3508-29 should be comparable to the RCTimer (I am not talking about build quality for sure...). Or? However, my hexa is a long-endurence and no pay loader copter. I would have expected more problems with autotune on slightly underpowered systems like mine.
