Hoverfly Trying to get the Y6 with HFSport dialed in.

[SleepyC]

So I have a Y6 that has a stationary GoPro mount on the snout and I have been playing with it for a while trying to get the jello beat.
I think I'm close. I'm going to rebalance the props one more time and tighten a few bolts, but I'm getting close I think.

HoverFly just flys sooooo smooth, with more practice on this rig (and some LED's to help me see it) I think I can rock out with this guy.

Looks good, seems to be pretty smooth. I have a smaller Y6 with 9" props and a Hoverfly Sport. I think it's probably one of the best setups I've had. Very stable especially in the wind. Flight time isn't the greatest but it makes up for it in stability.

This is the y6. It's fairly big. But I decided last night the 16mm arms are just not solid enough.
So I did some bartering and got a friend to buy me a new 21.5mm Y6 frame from AGL Hobbies. When it comes I'm going to move all this equipment to that frame.
I also got his "vib elimination ring" that will go on the bottom, and I'll mount the gopro mount to that ring to give it two layers of vibration reduction, and also hopefully mount a different bigger cam under the plate. I really like the way the y6 flys. I may even put my extra HFP in the new version and ring a gimbal... Who knows...

Gotta tinker... it's the only thing that keeps me partially sane.
