So I just got done putting together my first HexaCopter and it will not take off.
Here are the current parts:
Motors are 1200kv (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25084__NTM_Prop_Drive_Series_28_26A_1200kv_250w_short_shaft_version_.html)
7x6E Precision propeller (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7942___TGS_Sport_7x6E_Precision_propeller.html)
Turnigy Multistar 20 Amp Multi-rotor Brushless ESC 2-4S (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25364__Turnigy_Multistar_20_Amp_Multi_rotor_Brushless_ESC_2_4S.html)
Venom 20C 3S 6400mAh 11.1 LiPO Battery (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0027GEY9S/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1)
Please watch my prop video:
Here is the first attempt at taking off:
So I am guessing the issue is to do with the Props and the Normal vs Pusher. So the first question is how do I know what size props I need? And how do I know if the props I buy will fit my motors (shaft)?
Here are the prop test for the motors I bought
Prop Tests:
7x6E - 11.1v - 90W - 8A
7x6E - 14.8v - 192W - 13A
8x4E - 11.1v - 100W - 9A
8x4E - 14.8v - 222W - 15A
8x6E - 11.1v - 145w - 13A
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will need equal numbers of clockwise and anticlockwise spinning props to have a chance of getting of the ground at all
the props you have from my quick look do not appear to be designed for multicopter use so they may not have an opposite,
You can use several different sizes with your motors, they will just change the flight characteristics of your hex.

andhttp://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__22439__Slow_Fly_Electric...
you will need 2 packs of each which will give you 2 spare of each rotation
this should get you of the ground to tune your quad if needed then you can you can experiment with different props.
