Y6 not currently available from 3DR?
Any idea what's up with that? Is there a redesign in the works?
Anyone? Anyone? Paging Mr. Anderson to the white courtesy phone!!
I was about to order parts for my bedragled Y6, but thought maybe I should figure out if anything is changing, first.

Here's a tip: Don't fly one into the side of your house.
Top rear motor failed, I think, but that doesn't explain it, exactly. I've test flown on 5 motors before, briefly, and this was not that. Anyway, all I really know is that in Stabilize mod

Beginning to wonder if I have a flaky rear motor...
Running a Y6 in A format, with 11" on the bottom and 10" on the top. Tmotor 2216's 900kv motors. running on 4S.
Flies very well, and is perfectly stable at 80kph, even touching 100kph in tailwinds. Vi
3 Axis Gimbal
Just wanted to know if anyone is using a 3 axis gopro gimbal with their Y6 and if so which model is it and are they happy with the results.
I am currently trying to decide between the DYS Smart3, Zenmuse h3-3d (top end of the budget) or whether or not

Anyone get this error in their logs? My Y6 would not hold position in Loiter/PosHold and it appears the hdop is increasingly exceeding 2.0. I took off in stab mode, switched to HoldPos to test, and the thing was wondering all over; I barely had cont

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to UAVs and DIY drones, and I've been tasked with building a Y6 as an environmental research platform (seemingly a common thing...). I've got pretty far with my build and just waiting on propellers so I can complete transferring

Anyone experienced with this? I'm satisfied with the performance of my Y6 now and would like to try FPV.
At $189.99 the price seems right. Any reason(s) not to use this system?
I already have an AV-USB adapter to start out using a laptop, may get moni

Are any of you guys (or girls?) using a sonar module from the 3DR store? If so, how did you mount it?
They sell a mounting plate, but it's for the "Hexa-B", not the Y6. It looks like it goes between two arms of the hexa, and so wouldn't work on the Y6

I did a small test mission last weekend and found the GPS navigation accuracy was quite poor. I've attached a screenshot showing the actual path taken compared to the WP path it should have followed from WPs 2 to 9. The speed was set to 5 or 6 m/s.

I have a 2013 Y6 with the old style motor collets with rounded nuts that are tightened with a 2mm hex wrench. I had a crash earlier this year when a prop flew off mid flight despite me having checked the nut tightness prior to flight. Since then I ha

I have a 2013 Y6 I built from kit. I have always found the PDB board ESC signal wires to be problematic. They are quite fragile. At one stage three of them broke off at the board. I managed to solder them again but they are close together and there a

Has anyone flew long missions with their Y6? I'm planning a 3.8 mile flight mostly above straight roads, and will follow in the car.
A few questions:
1) What is the maximum advisable speed to fly for the most efficiency? I've been using 12-15 m/s.
2) Th

We are using pixhawk with 3dr Y6 frame 2014 configuration. After arming, when we gradually raised the throttle, we find that the speed of the motors fluctuated, sometimes low and sometimes high. After we have raised the throttle above the midpoint, i

I laid out the power system for my Y6 according to the 3DR docs, which means I have ESCs for motors 2 and 5 sandwiched between the body plates, with the other 4 zip-tied onto the outside of the plates, spanning the gap between them. All my bullet con
