Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, but I've already learned quite a bit from all of you. Here goes my (probably) embarrassing question: my Y6 OSD/FPV kit didn't come with a cable to charge the 900mAh LiPo batteries for the transmitter and receiver. Do I n

I'm wondering if it's possible to do the initial setup and tuning, including ESC calibration, of a new Y6 -or any other copter using APM- using only the telemetry radios.
If not, what is missing?

I decided to convert my Y6 to the new frame 10 option. Of course, the motor cables from the ESCs were only reachable by taking it apart, top frame off the bottom frame. I labeled them as they were, disconnected, then re-connected in the new positio

Hello Folks,
I have a 3DR Y-6 Hexa and have been flying it for a couple of months now. In general, I think that it is a good platform.
One of the reasons I settled on the Y-6 was that one of the features listed in the description of the Y-6 on the 3

I am ordering what I need to look at the Y6 propeller setup. I was wondering what people considered the standard Y6 setup. I would like to know:
1. Battery capacity and cell count.
2. Flying weight.
I intended to start with the standard 3dr Y6 RT

Thanks in advance. I have the Y6 complete kit from 3D Robotics that I just finally got around to building. I have an APM2.6 with the external compass etc.. For some reason, I can't get all the motors to spin in test mode through the CLI.

I am still learning to fly my Y6 from 3drobotics store. Included in the kit I found two velcro straps, which I used to grab hold of the battery.
Today, in mid-flight, I see something fly down from my Y6, (followed by the Y6 itself).
Thankfully I
