Bignoses's X6 Build

[bignose13]

If your flying involves L.A.B Values and spectrometry whilst doing a crash course as well on an Xrite Pantone spectrometer, then yes mate, I flys like spas :)

Don't you just hate it when work messes up your hobby :)

Just a quick up date
Most of the electrics been done
Finished the paint job
I'll prob do an overview vid of what I've done as I hate typing up stuff
But all that needs to be done is basically glue together, fit motor and Fpv gear and then fly
Couple of pics of finished paint job
Cheers

That`s looking top banana that mate :)

A video overview would be great as well

[bignose13]

Just a bit of a heads up on the X6
Just about completed and ready for the maiden then a servo died on me, so, waiting patiently for new servo then I'll update this thread
Cheers

She's finished (at long last)
Having trouble to get her to balance though on 5800 mah 4cell
Didn't really want to buy MORE batteries :(
Review coming up

[Coyote]

I like it ! :) I love the colour scheme, very imposing :)

[bignose13]

Yeah looks great mate
Only concern is the cog, the motor only performs on 4 or 5 cell so I'm looking at buying some batteries, got plenty of 3cell 4000 mah and it balances nicely with battery up front so a 4000 4cell is defo on the money

[Coyote]

When is the overview video ready ? :)

[bignose13]

When I've done it, I got to rip out my bathroom tomorrow so hopefully I got all day Tuesday to do it

Great review Simon, thanks for that.

Like the colour scheme, makes it look fast just sat on the table !

PK  :)

[Coyote]

Nice review Simon, a much better look at things when its done by video :)

[DaveyLC]

Straighten that AP unit up! :D  :P

[bignose13]

Too late
Was messing with it last night and noticed, job done
On a sour note though, for me to balance the plane with a 5000 mah 4 cell lipo, I need to add a 3300 nanotech 3 cell in the esc bay  :Dumbfolded:
Soooooo I've been researching batteries and decided to go for the Zippy 4000 4 cell 20C batteries at nearly 200 gramms light and £19 a shot, bit gutted but hey ho, either that or I cant fly it  :(
