Have 1000$ for a new Y6 build! HELP ME

Posted by Rafi Nahmani on August 14, 2015 at 9:44pm

Been saving up for a while. Its finally time to start ordering parts..The goal for this protect is to simply build an excessively powerful drone. I want lots of lift, i want thrust and speed. I wanna do stunts. I've always been interested in tri-copters and a Y6 configuration seems cool.I have a hard time finding builds that satisfy me. I dont even know what size motors are excessive.. I dont know what size batteries or cables would be suitable for the motors i settle on.. I could really use a recommendation of parts on this..If anyone can help me with parts or direct me to a good build i would be extremely appreciative!! Thank you for the help.(If you are an expert id be willing to pay something for your time

    Thanks man!! I appreciate your reply!. And I know its not much money.. I would seriously consider going with a standard quadcopter as well.. Would i be able to get better results for the money going with a quad-copter? You got any ideas for a quadcopter build in my price range?

      for a basic quad yes 1000 could work. you need 5 miles for FPV and the craft?

        Okay then. I think i'll just go with a quad. Yes, i need an fpv set up with 5+ miles of range. I dont plan on going out of my line of sight but i need the signal strength for personal reason

        But id like results like this https://youtu.be/zfmH5mWECSE
        
        I really just want to throw on the biggest motors that i can and obviously need everything else up to spec for that
        Thanks for the help so far

        hello,
        
        not sure what your looking for now ? that is of a racing quad you looking racing copter? what will you be using it for? what sort of flight time are your looking for? so we are on the same page.

      Also forget the fpv monitor, camera and gimble for now. The 1k budget is for the drone itself. I do need the 5+mile range tho... I basically want the drone prepared for the fpv equipment.. If you can recommend a transmitter thst would also be nice..

        quad might be better because you can spend more on motors and props.
