[marcin]

ready for maiden - hexa was not good for AV ..that setup works a lot better.

[marcin]

Maiden is done.
Must admit ,that thing can't even compare to hexa !!!  :sparta:

Looks interesting bud, does it fold down at all for transportation ?

[marcin]

no Ian ,keep it simple ,don't like to complicate and no problem with transport ,also easy to carry with that handle on top  :)

asap I got real 3k carbon sheets I will make one full carbon  :)

How many toddlers can that thing carry away to devour in a cave then??

its a Raptor LOL

looks mean bet she sounds mean too, Marcin ;)

dizzy :)

[marcin]

she looks a lot better after clean up wiring mess  :)
Now I'm about to replace whole legs for gimbal with 20mm tubes to make them evem more stiff  ;D
will add pictures soon.

[marcin]

As I think my legs might catch some vibes during fast flying forward etc:.
I design and made whole gimbal pod for Y6 ,with 8108 mounting plate ,also gimbal mounting tube with possibility to slide forward /backward to adjust proper YAW CoG.
,design is a lot hevier then previous "600gr what's on pictures - legs" but it's made form aluminium tube and 3mm G10 - so can't expect something light and stiff like this build.
well will test that POD soon.
Actually I like it more these thick legs ,they look solid to me - tested I use that POD as my stool  ;D I'm 93kg so it's OK.

If my COG in Y6 goes to low ,middle plates got designed holes to fit batterys on top also then CoG will go UP a lot.
All is ready for testing ,she fly once for now and I really like it !!!

[marcin]

Pimp my Y6  ;D

[Coyote]

Cool :)

[marcin]

drop some weight from legs before I fit them.

[hase2]

looks good - how much weight did you save by using carbon?

[marcin]

legs only drop 160gr - tubes You can see on picture Hase  ;)
still got 3 arms to mount - I weight them and alloy ,these is another 160gr difference ,so all together using only carbon I got 320gr -for now.
After that I will swap these 12mm alloy tubes used in gimbal for carbon "IN DELIVERY" - so more to drop :)
Then - motor mount ,will cut them from 2mm 3k Carbon instead of 3mm G10. - no clue how much this will safe ,but alwasy something.
Thinking about making whole Y6 middle plates in carbon ,but price for sheet in that sizes is  :-X

for now setting this thing  ;D ,more stiff setup ,better dampening system,perfect balance on  all 3 axis,no slope at all +setup button mounted in tubes to change setting in gimbal boards.
