"Hey Richard, I have heaps of new unused parts for Y6. PM me and let me know what parts you need and we can arrange."
"In Mission Planner, the orientation of the copter between waypoints is independent of the direction of travel. For example, When our pilots use Mission Planner they are always required orient the aircraft to 000 degrees (facing north) regardless of…"
"A multi-rotor doesnt really have a forward or backwards.
Just reverse your forward/backward stick on your RC transmitter. Unless I am missing something?

"I have had this same issue.
Luckily (unlike Raymond) I noticed the problem while testing and calibrating before flying. It was the PDB. The exact point of failure on the PDB I found I could not isolate, so I replaced the PDB rather than trying to…"

"Hello everyone
@ausdroid - the answer is no.
I have been discussing this 3DR Pix4D Lt and Pro versions with the Pix4D sales team in Lausanne.
From that discussion, the key difference is; both 3DR Pix4D versions will only function using the 3DR…"

"Hi Elvis
Coaxial motor configuration is recognised to be roughly 24% less efficient (see lots of posts - or should I say arguements on DIYDRONES about this).
The Y6 configuration is popular as there is a wide angle between forward-facing arms which…"

"Hi there Elvis
That's a loaded question and we might need a little more information before working out your MTOW (Maximum Take Off Weight). For example; what batteries, motors and props are you using? What is the shortest flight time that is…"

"Brent
What do you mean by "Left rotation is still there" ? are you referring to "I have a fast counter clockwise spin although I appear to have a level platform" from your earlier post?.
Minimal thrust to the mid point and then very fast transition…"

"Hi Brent
You should be in Aeroplane Mode - Helicopter mode is your first problem.
After that, ensure your ESC's are properly calibrated."

"Looks like you have between 8 and 9 sats so that could be causing some issue - you will get a 3d fix with fewer satellites but of course the more (I like to have 13+) the better.
Also ensure GPS and compass wires are braided where possible and check…"

"Hi Amos
I have had a similar experience with a Y6. It had height (60m) and was in Auto mode when it occurred.
I suspected a motor / ESC failure but through diagnosing the log files, discovered that - even though the GPS was reporting (via…"

"If you have a RTF then the PDB with Deans that they are sending you will be a problem for you as you will need to de-solder all 6 PDB power connections for the ESCs and then solder Male Deans connectors to all the existing ESCs. This is not a small…"
"Here is the Maytech Simonk ESC manual.
Dave just a word of encouragement: The learning curve is steep for multirotors and autonomous vehicles, but worth it. It is very important that you fully diagnose any issue that you have as they are more often…"

The ESC has a red/brown/yellow servo connector (see second pic below - but it doesn't show the servo connector - just the red/brown/yellow wire) that is normally connected to the pins on the PDB (see first pic below). The pins on the PDB are…"

I had that very same issue and spent a week testing and re-testing every part and combination I could come up with. In the end it was a PDB (or more accurately the servo routing through the PDB). I videoed the problem and my…"

"By "prevent movement during flight" do you mean vibration or swaying? You will see the small black phillips head on the side of the mount - We secure the GoPro mount to the vibration-dampening plate with velcro and bands.
