I have a few questions regarding the Mission planner and flight modes.
1. If I set 3 modes for my radio to use can I still command all the other modes using a ground station or tablet?
2. What RTL settings are you guys using for timing? How long befor

I sent this support mail to 3DR, but decided to publish also here. Perhaps someone here can answer some of my questions?
1. Mounting prop with locating ring
The propellers (APC LP11047SF and LP10047SFP) don't fit the threaded collet (4.85 mm/0.19 in
Last week I received 4S batteries and have been trying to tune the PID's on my Y6 for it. I am hoping some of you who are using 4S batteries can share your params so I can compare. I started with the params file posted on the 3DR site.
I'm having a ha

I ran across this thread over at google code drones discussion and would like to bring attention to it, hoping 3DR chimes in and can clarify if indeed the rear blades need to be swapped (and documentation updated to reflect this). You will noti
Read more…Anyone know why 3DR got rid of the 880 motor option? They are only offering the 850 as a motor option with their kits and ARF's. Also, what kind of flight times are you getting with the recommeded batteries?
Thanks in advance.
Read more…Yesterday I was testing Simple Mode. I added a mix for CH8 to use a 2-pos toggle switch on my radio to turn it on and off. At first we took off and flew in STABILIZE, ALT_HOLD and LOITER modes. While in ALT_HOLD I activated Simple Mode. I confirmed t
Read more…These modes would help in cases where the Y6 is too far where I cant see which way it is pointing. Using a mode similar to Course Lock would always return it back to me, regardless of which direction its nose is pointing.

Read more…Hello,
I'm curious how many people are using 4S batteries with their Y6 and how it performs. I was planning on trying a couple 4S batteries, but whenever I do any calculations on ecalc with a 4S battery, it says over power (260w vs 200w rating for the

Read more…Hi all,
I really like the look (they really look amazing!), the lightness, simplicity and "foldability" of those C-shaped Y6 legs, but I'm questioning their stability: According to my experience, the legs tend to brake on a one meter drop to grassy gr

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 sligh

Long story short, I purchased the parts, assembled my Y6, it worked flawlessly until I got it tangled into the top of a tree.
A motor and two arms later (and some nuts and bolts - the fiberglass was stronger than the metal scews 3.5 and 3 mm

Read more…Hi All,
I've been trying to extend my flight time, and also bring a bit more power to my Y6 - the direction people keep pointing me at is going to a 4S battery. Before taking the plunge, It would be great to hear from users that have tried, or are usi
