Product Description

 includes FREE SHIPPING* - WORLDWIDE by Fedex/DHL - see below

 

The worlds strongest creature by size is the Scarab beetle, thought by the Egyptians to have rolled the sun across the sky. The v2 YSiixKopta (HEXACopter) is a powerful 6 engined multicopter with a max lift of 1.8kg (6 CarbonBird 775 motors on 4S and 9050 props and a 4S2650 40C LiPo) and a realistic AP payload of 750grams including the gimbal - designed to carry the latest APS-C mirrorless cameras on the integrated front roll -gimbal - and CNC camera tray - Ideal for Nex5N or Panasonic GH2 or Nikon V1 - As supplied (no payload) it will hover at 1/3 throttle easily !!  We are commercial photographers / FPVpilots ourselves and we live to make our airframes efficient and stable for photography. This Aircraft flies normally on 5 engines - so one complete engine or prop or ESc can fail and still save your camera gear. Full Carbon Electronica version -  it requires assembly - Ysiix requires advanced model assembly skillssoldering skills - prop balancing skills - INCLUDES electronics, gimbal, servos and engines.  Has the properties of a strong CENTRAL carbon CORE - with three decks - PARIS electronic is mounted on a TOP-DECK - slender booms & light weight mounts have been designed to reduce airflow drag and tested to improve stability and give LONG flight times.  Central to the design is the idea that it has to be strong but light weight ; aerodynamically clean and efficient with low drag under the propeller wash zone ; The front booms can be rotated/offset forward by small increments to provide positive-offset-thrust lines rather than the poor yaw control associated with rectangular boom frames.  This ELECTRONICA VERSION features magnetic HEADING HOLD for stable video and a full roll gimbal for level horizons in all video footage up to 40° bank.  This is critical for Aerial photography where a tilted horizon can render footage un-usable.  Gimbal control is via dedicated gimbal IMU.  The gimbal Tray is 2mm CNC aluminium and can either carry an APS-C sized camera on top or a HD video camera underslung. The Tray can - if required carry a GoProHeroHD2 for longer endurance flights - GoPro underwater housing shaft/adapter included.

 

YSiixKopta being flown by Film-maker Tretch5000 - Nick uses both the standard v1GoPro lens and the Sunex 2.8 lens on a 2nd v1GoPro to record this vision

Tips

  • Information on assembling a kit can be gained by looking at the photos on the product page itself. If you stuck on an advanced kit then first read the Quad Noobs guide
  • MultiCopters should hover at 50% throttle and fly for 10-15 mins.
  • Balance all props - vibration causes junk sensors data and gello in video - remove the SOURCE of the vibration by balancing
  • Use a quality prop balancer(Du-Bro 499 Tru-Spin Prop Balancer) statically; then run them individually to check they are centred true and the tipshave the same path; any vibration will reduce the effectiveness of the Wii gyro or anyother gyro.
  • Attach any IMU or sensors such as Sirius™, NAZA or WookM with vibration isolation gel - Board with sensors solder to directly are just cheapo clones - commercial quality IMU use isolation vibration materials
  • Keep your PROPS OFF - not installed - until you are fully conversant/understand in full the functions of your Tx in full including TRAV (end Points), the arm and disarm procedures - realise that for a noob skiping or out-of-order set-up steps or moving sticks, or even static - PROPS may start at anytime without warning. Never install props prior to calibration of the ESC and testing the gyro orientation, and arm/disarm testing of the board - YOU are responsible - make sure your actions and your Copter is safe - remove the prop -remove the risk.
  • Always maiden on default PIDs' - If the copter is not almost perfect on default PID's then DO NOT go straight to altering the PID's! Most of the problems you will face as a noob will be caused by making wild assumptions or following myths from forums - fly on default PIDs first - balance your props - make sure your ESC are calibrated and synchronized.
  • Dont be fooled by forum claims of kirby flashed ESCs - this software will melt your ESCs and give short flights - there is a lot of bad info on forums

Safety in Australian Skies

  • Keep more than 30m from persons,choose an empty sports field for your first flights
  • Do not fly near pets, houses or cars
  • Never fly within 3nm of an airfield or above 400ft
  • Never install your props until after the Multicopter is fully tested and 100% correct without props. Engines can start suddenly and without warning IF YOU FAIL to understand how they work or skip any steps.
  • Set your Tx/Rx binding to low throttle 1/4 position so that if the link is lost the copter will descend slowly.
  • Always keep your Copter in line of sight for one pilot ops - FPV is only legal in AU with a buddy on a buddybox - 2 person FPV is 100% legal using the buddybox system below 400'.  See CASA Part 101 Regs
  • RC Flying is a privilege - please enjoy it.  Don't show off and don't get over confident
  • Home movies are fine, but in Australia professional paid photography or videos from an RC aircraft requires CASA Part 101 compliance, including exams and approved ops manuals and pilot competency tests by CASA official which will cost several thousand up front.
