"Hi Mate, not sure where you can get plans for one as i designed it myself, but i believe i have seen some drawings submitted in the forum from other users... have a search maybe"
"I like your thinking Bjorn Geir Leifsson. First i need a suitable camera :). would love a GoPro HD, but at the moment i have my phone, which probably isn't adequate. Thanks for your input"
"Yeah Jeff E i thought about making removable arms at the beginning but thought for less complexity and weight i would make it the right size to fit in almost all boots as thats where it will be transported. I've also thought about adding braces in…"
"The arms are very strong. there is no movement at all in them, however if twisted you can twisted the arms a little, this isn't that bad because if you think about it there are no forces produced or encountered that will want to make the arms twist.…"
"nice laser cut parts you have there :)"
"Ah okay, thanks Jason, I had never heard of the Ch6 tuning option until now. For my quad i used to use the Xbees and mission planner, landing each time i wanted to change values. i will try the ch6 tuning method as it sounds a hell of a lot easier.…"
"You may be right Patrick L, but i will wait and see. Yes the website he did share with us did have some very nice video work, good piloting skills in there as well.
John Lee, i'll try get a picture of the mounts up soon, they are nothing special,…"

"Thanks mate. Motor power consumption was viewed on a Watt meter i bought from Hobbyking if thats what you were asking.
Thanks jasonshort i will do that, is it safe to make adjustments while the hexa is in the air or should i land each time?
I'll try…"

"thanks guys. Can't remember the brand of props, i bought a tachometer to measure rpm but i havent tested it yet"
"Wow, a lot has happened since my last comment. I'll try answer as many questions as i can.
First off the torsion through the arms is minimal, if you try to twist them it takes a reasonable amount of force to twist them however i am not conerned…"

"Cheers Erick... no worries, if you need any help etc let me know. The CF sheets i purchased were from an Aussie seller on eBay, they were AUD$49 a sheet. if you wish i can find a link to his eBay Store but im not sure if he ships overseas... i'm…"
"Thanks mate. I contemplated building a Y6 frame but due to the inefficiencies of the coaxial motor design (albeit a small amount) and the fact that a standard hexa will be twice as stable as a Y6 configuration i decided with the standard hexa. The…"
"Thanks Don. At the moment i am running 10x4.5 props on it which i get around 2900 grams lift per motor. i was hoping for a 10x3 prop which i could have got around 3500 grams from which would have been 21kg total thrust... but i couldn't find both…"
"Thanks Nick. Yeah i made the quadcopter as well, it was my first multicopter and it was good fun.
The Quadcopter cost me around $150. that includes everything except for chargers, apm, rc controller.
The Hexacopter has cost me around $520. but i…"

I thought i would share my hexacopter build with the world, it's not finished as of yet but it is getting there.This is my second multicopter build; the first being a quadcopter which i may make a build log about as well but basically it was to see…
