help tuning my new hexa

Hello everyone my name is Josh and this is my first Hexacopter build.

I am still waiting on parts to arrive and i know i am getting a little ahead of myself, BUT.....

I am curious where to start on the tuning process. I am very new to this so kinda curious if someone anywhere near the setup i am building

650KV motors

30a ESC

not sure on prop size

ArduPilot v2 2.6 FC

Aluminium Frame 800MM

Will be reflashing ESC with Simons firmware

Just dont even really know where to begin on the PID tuning. Have been reading and will continue to .

Thanks

    Just start with the defaults. there are tips on the wiki, but you can also try the simulator. Kv and thrust are the biggest factors and you can just tune up or down stabilize_rate_P

    Sim is at www.jasonshort.com
