The time has come for me to part with my custom built hexacopter. This has been so much fun over the last couple years, but with a young child at home I just don't have the time anymore. I have well north of $1000 into this thing but need it gone.

I recently updated my 9x to er9x. Ever since doing so I am unable to arm my copter. I've run the radio calibration and it's picking up all my inputs just fine. Everything on the radio end seems to work fine with my planes, but it won't arm the copter

I was just wondering if there is an optimum boom length for hexacopters if it's a by case kind of thing. I ask because I am using 450 size booms and when I add the motor to the end, the boom sags. Anyone have any suggestions?
Read more…I saw a cool idea and thought that it'd be great for my new copter to save space/weight and make it look much nicer. I'm just wondering if it's a good idea.

So I've built all my hardware and successfully tested the APM/IMU via the Mission Planner. The sensors worked perfectly.
I've since attached all my R
