I was just gona say:
Im using YS-X6.
Yea its pretty massive at the moment. I do like its presence somewhat.
Il only be flying up to a 5d for the foreseeable future.
Im using Herkuels V3, xoar 15".
Do you bench test prop combos to find the best ones?
Cheers Ryan

I was looking on the Droidworx site, it mentioned it could fit 15" props, but in the images of yours with 14" props it looked like there was plenty of room and could possibly fit up to 16" props? Do you think its possible?

It just a small black ABS box. A company called Hammond make them and can be obtained in the UK from RS components or Farnell. Maplin also have a range.
Elsewhere I'd hope local electronics suppliers are a source.
I've always used the 1551 series plastic boxes. See http://www.hammondmfg.com/dwg9.htm. You can get them in black or transparent blue in many sizes.

As usual the font of all knowledge in electronics Zaxis (Andy) comes up trumps with a far bigger selection than Maplin have. If you do have a local Maplin they do have quite a range in black or grey. They have smaller ones but not on in shop shelves you have to ask by part number.

Not sure why you would want 16" props. There again I dont know the Y6 FC and how it handles bigger props.

Just something to test, longer flight times and all of that. Im still unsure if YS would work well with 16" props or not. But it was just a thought.

I have a SkyJib 8 v2 could someone please help me.
I am getting really low flight times and am trying to figure out why.
My spec:
SkyJib 8 v2 = 7kg (no camera loaded)
AXI 2826/12 motors
2 x Nano Tech 8000mah 25-50C 5S Batteries
15x4 Carbon Fibre Props
MayTech 65A ESC's
DJI Wookong M
I get around 7 minutes flight time.
I tested with 4kg load (which is what my EPIC and AV200 would weigh) and got 2 minutes flight time.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I be using different batteries?
Different props?

15" props are too big for those motors. im not sure what the best prop size is for those but if you have a look here: http://www.modelmotors.cz/index.php?page=61&product=2826&serie=12&line=GOLD
It shows up to a 14" being used, but have a look around on here to find what size other people are using with them because i think it might be smaller like 12-13"

I never had much luck with the ecalc.
Just keeps coming up red, so I must have the wrong numbers in the wrong places for it to freak out.
Not sure if it likes AXI 2826/12 motors on the ecalc.
As to the props. They don't seem too large. When I land my motors, esc and batteries are cool, not hot at all. Well a little warm but nothing to indicate anythings wrong. The batteries have never puffed either.
