Any Y6 owners in Stockholm, Sweden

Posted by Rolf Agazzi on October 22, 2013 at 9:04am

Hi.

I bought a Y6 complete kit from 3DR and is slowly getting into a final. I wonder if there's any other Y6 owners nearby Stockholm, Sweden? I know of at least one more (Ericsson Flying Club). We will cooperate in building, trimming, etc.

I have slightly modified the frame by raising the PDB slightly above the bottom plate (making it easier to service), leaving the space between the bottom plates to cables and the power module. I then raised the APM plate approx 50 mm, using spacers. So, it is a bit higher than original design. The ESC I put on the arms, except for two on the bottom plats.

This is all  very exciting and I'm rather new to model flying (I'm more used to flying full scale).

    I would recommend that you fly low under 6 feet and that you learn to fly in stabilized mode really really well. Once you learn to fly in stabilize mode you can try some of the other modes but you would need to do them in order stabilize, altitude hold, loiter and then eventually auto. When flying auto keep it real simple, 2 or 3 waypoints. You can also try to do on auto trim while in stabilized mode and on a calm day. Check the wiki for instructions on how to do the auto trim it's pretty simple and it helps reduce stick inputs.
    Good luck and fly safe.
