"Hi Pektusin
What size of motors did you go with? Did you have to change out the ESC's?"
What size of motors did you go with? Did you have to change out the ESC's?"
"Hi Doug, great news on the motors I am anxious to find out how this works for you. I flew mine again this morning to check how hot the motors get with the 10" props. The ambient temp this morning was 65 degrees and I flew for 8 minutes. Immediately…"
"I like it! Do you know if this would work with a flybar Heli? I have a Bergen EB with the BH Hanson 26cc motor that has a fly bar. Any info you could share would be appreciated."
"I have checked my bottom motors with an ambient outside temperature of 95 degrees loaded with a gopro and gimbal. Elevation here is 4280 feet. I had 10" props on top and 11" on the bottom. It hovers at half throttle, and for the 8 minute flight I…"
"Hello there here is a link on the hybrid mode. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A1529...
Get this dialed in and I think it will be very useful.
My Y6 also flies better with the RTF B parameters, however when I went…"

"My ESC's have not been running too hot but when I was running 11" props on the bottom motors after a 9 minute hover my temps were 160+ degrees and the top motors were 10-15 degrees cooler . With the 10" props my temps have dropped to 145…"
"How do you get the longer flight times? Are you running it with a gimbal and camera attached? Mine flew ok with the stock 3s battery but is underpowered with the gimbal attached. The 4s has helped tremendously but flight times are not that long. Do…"
"I have that same gimbal and you are right it won't fit with stock legs. I bought the smaller gimbal just to make it easier. I get great "no jello" video with it and it balances with the 4s battery very well. I attached a picture of my gimbal…"
"I have the 2013 version also. I changed the motors to the B configuration and it flies just fine like that(bit more stable). My 3s 5400 battery flies it ok in the stock configuration, but when I added the gimbal (goodluckbuy $73.00 on ebay) and…"
"How are the 980KV working out for you with the 4s? I am running the stock blue motors with a 4s and the bottom motors run rather hot. I run 11" on the bottom and 10" props on top. "
"I bought a used Y6 that came with a 3s 5400 battery. It was flying fine in its stock configuration but then I added a gimbal and gopro camera and although it would still fly it was underpowered. I bought a 4s Turnigy 6000mah and it made all the…"
"Ok and now for the update. I made a mistake putting on the props. I have put so many props on airplanes I just didn't think about it, I put the bottom props on, with the letters facing the ground and not the sky :( boy do I feel dumb. Anyway it is…"
"Lots of good information here I really appreciate all the feedback. I will give it a go with the reload and see what happens.
As far as the battery goes...With the APM 2.5 will the extra voltage of the 4S battery be ok? I have the power module that…"

Hello thereI have a stock y6 that I bought used (2013 model A configuration). It has the APM 2.5 controller. I have changed the wiring on it to the y6 B configuration. I have 11" props on the bottom and the 10' props on top. I have run all the…
