Thanks, again for this Bart! Where did you get the "Blue Foam" you mentioned for mounting the FC?

OK - Thank you both. From what I've read, the motors seem to be fairly well built. But I'll definitely get some spare arms & props!

Should I order one extra motor as a spare for a F450 quad? I'm a nubee following Bart's Group Build (didn't get a reply, there) recommendation of the MT 2216-12 motors. What are the chances of needing to replace a motor in a year, and Tiger not making that model anymore? I'm assuming that one...

Great video, Bart. Very helpful and easily understood! Thanks

Bart - thank you for doing this! Looking forward to building and flying this bird. What FUN!!!!

Sounds great - I'm in!

Greetings! I'm considering a Scarab Y6 for videography. Has anybody had any experience with the company, or the Scarab itself? I noticed they use a 3-bladded prop. Anybody know the pros/cons for those? Maybe you can use a shorter prop.......... Thanks in advance.

It's the Lil' Daganflyer http://www.amazon.com/Draganflyer-Quadrotor-2-4gHZ-Helicopter-Battery/dp/B00AC29C4Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1365980802&sr=8-4&keywords=draganflyer+x4 Its not big enough to carry anything, but its a great trainer. They give you this one when you order the 20k 8 (not...

Thanks for the prop and motor recomendation. Since other people, besides myself, will be depending upon my copter's reliability, I'd rather spend a little extra upfront. Those RCtimer props you found are certainly a good price! Maybe I'll get those for my first set on the Y6 - since I'm still...

Thanks - you don't want props snapping. To be quieter, maybe I'll use bigger motors and props, so they can run at a lower rpm. I'm going to be shooting weddings. Your Rusty rig looks great! Very rigid!

I was thinking of using a of using a slow prop, thinking that they may be quieter - why don't you like them?

Thank you both for your advice. Because I am just starting, I've been flying a minature quad and have been thinking the next would be an F550/Naza GPS for a gopro. And started reading that Y6's are better with wind, but then saw posts regarding vibration caused with the stacked props, so I'm...

I'm new and confused.:livid: Trying to decide what configuration is best for AV. I've read that wind will effect a Y6 is less than a 6X, but then I've also read that the top props of a Y6 cause vibration with the bottom props. Any advise / opinions over which config. is best for AV would be...

I found this article in the paper http://www.sacbee.com/2013/04/02/5311650/california-lawmakers-look-to-regulate.html

Thanks gtranquilla. I had heard that a H4 was less affected by the wind than a 6X. And was hoping that I could get big enough motors for the payload. Would I disablethe roll servo ona 468 gimball - is this for weight saving? Should I wait for a new brushless gimball? Any suggestions for motors...

Would building an H4 quad,using a F550 frame, provide a good platform as a Go-pro copter? I want something quite and stable. The long term goal is expanding it to a Y6, after gaining some experience. And if the quad is a good idea, which motor/frame combo would provide enough lift, be reliable...

Your setup looks great! If I may ask, where did you buy the parts - or is this something you made? Thanks in advance for any info.

Does anyone have any information/opinion on how stable this new Gaui would be as an AP platform? The fact that it is a Hex and has a folding CF frame got my attention, but have not seen much attention to it in the forums.
