I've been fascinated with Y6 designs for years and have been wanting to craft my own but never had the finances to do so. FInally came into some extra cashflow and want to put it towards a drone. I just became FAA certified and have been doing this c
Read more…Does anyone have specs for 3DR Y6? I'm looking for dimensions on all parts, but mostly for the main plates. I can't find any spare parts, so I figured I'd manufacture my own. I have a second Y6, but it has the old original top plate and I'd like t
Read more…Hi, guys. I know the 3DR Y6 is not as popular as it used to be, but I still need some help. I recently dusted off my Y6 and started using it again. I even installed a new Hero4 for 4K video with a new lens (to get rid of the fisheye effect)...

Parts for this drone are hard to get. So if you are interested in a flying, fully equipped Y6, let me know. Living in The Netherlands.
Kind regards,

I am building a 2014 3DRY6. I got it a couple of year ago, but then got very busy, so only building it now.
I am able to find the 3DR assembly manual on the web, but all of the links into the manual to the 3DR page a

Thank you for any input.

Thank you for any input.

Read more…Hi All
Just been thinking about trying the Y6 frame but 'upside down'. So the single arm points to the front and the dual arms are the back.
Anyone tried this? or know if there would be any issues regarding stabilisation (e.g. yaw) with this setup. I'm
Read more…Hi all,
Probably a stupid request but does anyone out there happen to have any drawings of the Y6 frame/top plates/what-have-you?
Just being lazy, I don't want to have to strip mine down to do measurements. :-)
Thanks in advance

just wanted to share my new y6 "leftover parts" as viable portable alternative to the 3dr y6.

My wife wanted to take a look at the ceiling of my house, and I figured this would be a good job for the Y6, especially considering that I had just finished installing the STorM32 controller on my DYS gimbal. So, I took off, changed into LOITER mode

I'm about to start building a Y6 using a 3DR frame kit and the Pixhawk/Power System from my Tarot FY680. Please excuse the trivial question - has anyone come across a canopy that will fit (or can be modified to fit) a 3DR Y6?
I know that 3DR don't

So a year later and this new pixhawk I purchased still has yet to work.
I thought the flights I was doing where AT LEAST up to 40 mph (about 60 kph), but MP says 25 in the logs (spd). Just don't ask 25 what, 'cause I honestly do not know! I am SURE it was more than 25 kph! So, just how fast can you fly a Y6? I was in
