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

Read more…Hi,
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?

Read more…Hello everybody,
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
Read more…This is the next to last flight of my Y6. Too bad I broke it on the next flight! But other than a gimbal acting up and broken landing gear, it's back together. Anyway, here's the video:

Read more…Just a noob question; how much vibration is acceptable? Here is the chart from the last flight... Is this OK?
I noticed during the last few flights, I noticed that the sonar altitude was not working adequatly. I started doing research, and looking at the logs, it seems I have too much noise, and looking at the current position, it is obvious (I think) that

Multiwii Scarab Y6 copters have a 3 degree "twist" on their motors. Dihedral is now popular on flat hexas/octos and quads (not sure about x8 coaxial).
So I'm wondering if there are advantages to angling the front motors on a Y6. I know it's been discu
