Starting on a new build. Want to do a Y6 on a Rusty's frame. Medium heavy, probably Avrotos, 11-12 in props.
Is there a rule of thumb for determining boom length? On a flat config, prop clearance is a factor but I'm guessing that's not as much of an issue in a Y setup.
One goal is stability in wind, which seems to be a plus of Y6.
Is there a trade off between wind stability and moment arm? Or should I just go by aesthetics; if it looks good, it is good. In that case, I'm thinking a boom length in the 375 - 400 mm range, just from sketching it out on my work table.
Any ideas appreciated
