It is a folding 6 rotor helicopter, inspired in X6 helicopter.i would like to build in polyethylene technical plastic, it is light, shock resistant and easy to work with my cnc mill.propellers are in a circle of 500mm diameter, i think best option in order to use standard RC parts is to use 6 x 12" counter rotating propellers.3 (counter rotating) propeller of 12" have an 8% more surface than 4 propellers of 10" (like typical quadrotors)Probably 14" propellers are better in order to get more performance but i think is not possible to find very low Kv motors with the necessary low power and low weight.Any idea are welcome!jlcortexnmine.com
Yeah! I have 2 quad :D The project that I made, but didn't build, have this caracteristics above but with only 4 motors. My quad's payload is about 900g because it's very heavy and not optimizated. This idea to build a aluminium struct is very good, lightweight and easy to build. Go ahead.
You said: "I have not enought previous experience with quadrotors so i can't estimate payload, but 1800g seems too much for me. perhaps it is possible but not recommended in order to get reasonable flight time."
For sure it is! It's my first approach (30% of error). If you'd like to use this motor configuration, like X6, you have to estimate your payload for 3 motors, because you need to garantee the redundancy of the system.
Good luck! If you need some help send me a message. midaps
yes, 2208 is the first choice, but it works great with 10x4.5 propellers, i don´t know how it works with 12" propellers.

Mr. Ivan, with base in the image above probably he'll use a AXi-GOLD Motors 2208 or something like that. So, max thrust around 6*550g ~ 3300g , right Jose? With battery, electronic, structure.... I supposed that the payload will be around 1800g to use 70% of full thrust, am I right José?
Hi M1D4P5,
yes, i have seen rotors are a bit diferent in X6: Upper Rotor Diameter: 40cm (16in) and Lower Rotor Diameter: 38cm (15in), they are very big diameter propellers!
Please, i need this secrets!
Very cool! Very good work man. Wanna a help with the project? You must pay attention that the upper rotors in X6 are different the bottoms ... take a look more carefully later. There are some more secrets embedded in the X6. ;)

Hi Ivan, Specifications will be similar to Draganfly X6.
i will use my board (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/705844:BlogPost:46953) and my software, we have a simple AHRS based on complementary filtering than works great!

But what kind of control were you thinking of using?
