  • Jani,

    the specified thrust total of 6.5 kg is using the smaller purple motors as in the picture, right ?

    do you have an estimation of the total thrust using the bigger orange 2836 motors ?

  • Thank you for kindly relpy :)

    Naturally hexa has more power than quad due it has 6 motors and quad has only 4. Hexa on a picture has maximum thrust of 6.5Kg's and with 2 x 5000mAh LiPo's it's weight is 2.3kg so you can still easily add around 700gr extra payload or take one battery off and add 1-1.2kg of payload.

     

    You should always keep flying weight less than 50% of total thrust. I try to keep it usually around 40% to get maximum efficiency out.

  • So, hexa has more power than quad?

  • Cool!
  • glad to hear it!looking forward for the new releashes..

    Dinos, hexa will be available in 1 month or so. we are still working a bit with the frame and supporting electronics/parts for it. Yes there will be cameramounts too for all frames.
  • When hexa frames will be releashed?

    Any plan for camera mount availlable for sale in the shop?
