Rtf Hexa Question

Posted by Kevin on July 21, 2013 at 8:48pm

So I am looking forward to buying this rtf hexa: http://rtf.3drobotics.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACHRTF1

So If I bought this product as is with no options selected what would I need to make it fly? Battery, and a remote (Tx)? Or would I need a receiver or telemetry?

Main Question: What options would I need to add to make this 100%?


Thanks!

    How long will stay in air with standard battery?

    I'd recommend the Y6 instead. Same number of motors (and lifting power) but lighter frame and better camera field of view, at essentially the same price. 

    If you don't already have RC and LiPo gear, you'll need the RC and battery kits. You'll also want the telemetry kit (915Mhz), which is a must for real UAV flight control and monitoring.

    You would need a battery, a transmitter, and a receiver.

    The telemetry kit is a great add-on but it's not required if you just want to fly around.

    I'd add a couple of spare props of each type too.  They're cheap and you're going to ding them up as you learn to fly.
