Hi there,I am a new user of the ardupilot 2.6 (ArduCopter V3.0.1, using it on a 10" quadrotor), but I have a lot of experience with my own flight controller system. I like the automatic flight capabilities of ardupilot a lot, and I had about 6 very…
"Hi there,
don't make it too much bigger! I like how small it is. Have you ever considered doing a BNF or RTF package?
I think it really needs to be bigger, so that people are able to build it. At the moment this is pretty complicated for "the…"

"Thanks for your positive feedback :-D.
If you ever sell the frame let us know I would be interested
I am in the discussion with someone to make this frame available as a kit. But in a slightly larger version, because that will be much easier to…"

A video of the Shrediquette GEMiNi:Hi everyone! I just posted this already in the internet somewhere else, but I think it might be worth a blog-post on DIYdrones as well, as it contains some information on motors / propellers / aerodynamics that…
"I put all the music credits to the very end of the clip. I think this song is from Dexter Britain."
"Are you still building flying things?
Yes, e.g. this new FPV-race hexa. As soon as I have an appealing video, I'll post something here on DIYdrones. So long you could have a look at my blog."

Remember the video "A nice place to fly - Hexacopter in Cameroon / Africa" ? Two years later, it is now available as a director's cut with more than twice the length of the original movie, showing some additional scenes and longer…
"Hi,
I also have a Y6 with a thrust to lift ratio of about 2. When one of the upper propellers is missing, I can still fly almost without problems. But when one of the lower propellers is missing, I crash...
Successful hover with upper prop…"

"Hi,
It does not have an autopilot yet.
Well, I succesfully tested GPS position hold. But I did not really document this, because a documentation is actually more work (and less fun) than the implementation of position hold...:…"

"Where do you buy those I²C->PWM micro converters ?
I developed them myself and I still have some PCBs here.
why not the 3 of each side in the same direction and both side in opposite direction?
well i think that would also work fine. Every…"

"Incidentally, where do you source adxrs 610's?
Well I borrowed them from another copter that I didn't use at that moment... Now I buy ADXRS620 breakout boards at watterott.com"

"Would a two blade not be more efficient?
Yes it would be more efficient I think, but I don't know of any 2-blade props (CW+CCW) that would fit my motors.
Looking forward to see the next good copter and movie - until then you have a small gift in a…"

"Do you have any kind of active altitude feedback?
No, at the moment that is just the ground effect, which is very prominent for this type of copter. But I am working on a five IR distance sensors that hopefully stabilize the position of the copter…"

"What are the benefits of the 6-motor 'tri copter?'
Well, you can use smaller props on more motors to get a similar amount of lift. So the overall size decreases, but you still have enough power to carry cameras, sensors etc. And this layout is also…"

"That is 0.8mm carbon that a friend cuts for me using a CNC. All 6 motors have their own ESC and are controlled independently, and they spin in a coax configuration."
