Modified Y6

Posted by Doug Walmsley on June 29, 2014 at 6:26pm

How many of you are not happy with the landing gear for your Y6?  I bought my 3DR kit last winter and mounted the Tarot 2D gimbal platform but after a hard landing and a broken gimbal mount, I decided to research and find something better.  My final result is this landing gear which required a slight bit of drilling to mount.  I purchased the landing gear from goodluckbuy.com

Check out my photos.  :-)

    Luckily I haven't had any hard landings and still have the originals, but Im open to others. Does your Y6 tip easy with those new ones?

    Thank you for sharing your "find".

      I tested a similar design and found it quite stable on flat surfaces.  Like any landing system, it's really up to the pilot to determine where to set down.  This setup is very stable when I did setup testing of it, but I haven't been out side lately to test it on uneven surfaces.  I will post a short video when I complete the flight.
