Hello All,
I am new to the forum and hope to enjoy my time here. My background is mostly in airplanes so I do need some help in getting a large hexacopter to fly.
My father is building it from scratch out of carbon fiber and aluminum and I am helping him with motor and electronics installation.
Below are some photos of this machine. The yellow cardboard figure represents the template layout, the others are photos of how it currently looks so far. Some key points:
1.) All 6 motors are equidistant to the center, essentially arranged in a perfect circle
2.) There is an equal arc distance between every single motor, everything is accurately and evenly spaced out down to the mm.
3.) The center of gravity will lie exactly within the geometric center of the motors. It will be perfectly balanced, regardless of its long nose.
THE QUESTION: can we use the Naza configuration "4" as seen in the diagram below? I ask this because even though our motors are arranged this way the arms do not attach the same way to the body of the hexacopter. Will the gyro within the Naza be able to disregard arm attachment points and just focus on where the motors are oriented in space?
