Stable heavy lift hexacopter - APM 2

Posted by Diederik Geurtsen on November 2, 2012 at 5:32pm

Take a look at my heavy lift hexacopter.
It flies very stable with the standard PIDS.
Couldn't get loiter to work though.

My setup:
NTM 910kv (changed to MK3638 on 4S)
Turnigy plush 30 amp ESC
UAP 1 frame
For booms i have 12mm kite tubes
5000mah 3S (now 4S)
11x4.7
Turnigy 9x + frsky
I use the hex to take aerials, with a Sony NEX 5N.
Got to say, this camera makes really nice photos.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Greetings from Holland!

    @Frank
    Thx!
    Aren't there standard pids for the Jdrones hex? Which allow you to get stable flight pretty fast.
    Succes!

    @Chris
    Pretty old code I think.
    I have to look it up.

    Tja,

    ik heb mijn Jdrones Hex al een jaar en ben nog steeds niet in staat om dit soort zaken uit te halen dus respect.

    Heb net mijn 900Mhz video setje binnen dus zal snel moeten gaan leren.

    cu,

    Looks cool! What GPS and code version are you using? Loiter should work great with uBlox6 and 2.8.1
