Hey everyone,
I am starting to do some research into the parts needed to build a Y6 Tricopter. I picked up a bunch of those 3DR Iris motors (or were they the X8 motors?, I'll verify) when 3DR was blowing out their DIY parts last year, and thought a Y6 would be an interesting project.
I am not 100% sure if I am going to go with a gimbal mounted GoPro (or equal) or use a fixed mount Gopro and just fly it FPV only, as opposed to doing some AP/AV work with it.
What specs I know:
Y6 Config
3S or 4S power
Pixhawk 2.1 (most likely)yep, that's about it
What I am looking for:
Thrust potential for 6 of these motors in a coaxial setup?
Best props?
Same size or differently sized props for top and bottom motors?
Who makes a good pivoting tail for a tricopter? **Once I get a thrust potential I can find/design a frame to match.
Thanks everyone....
** ok, it seems a Y6 tri doesn't use a pivoting tail for yaw??
