Hi, I'm finally nearing the completion of my Y6 build, and was wondering about balancing it.
I've read that having a properly balanced multirotor can help efficiency (and maybe stability?) so wanted to ask: Do you keep your Y6 or other multirotors balanced?
And if so, where is the optimal balance point? Do you have tips for balancing it?
I've noticed that if you strap the battery to the underside, it could vary in position from flight to flight when you swap it out, although I've also noticed that if I push the battery all the way back against the rear landing gear that it might make a good guide.... but then that prompted the balance question: If the battery is that far back, will it put more weight on the rear motors and make it less stable or efficient?
Thoughts?

Obviously, the center of gravity has to be in the center of Y6. This is the point where all 3 arms would theoretically cross if they were long enough. In general it is easy to check if your copter is well balanced: do a loiter flight, then take a look at the motors outputs in the logs. You want to see the plots for each upper motor in average to be close to each other as possible. Same thing for the bottom motors.
