It is a slow burn idea @Jackson I need to finish the quad first and pit in some airtime before I start the Hex.:)

I like that a lot @GlassKnees apart from the bit when it crashed :( The attraction for hexacopters was the one engine fails and you can still land. "I did not have the failsafe enabled." Next thing on the list to learn 'Failsafe' :)

Sometimes opinions are personal. In my opinion top colour for motors. Yes it does not seem to be a conventional connection method :-) Then again whats the worst that can happen. :-) As a novice, I listen to all opinions then make my decisions. All I will say, with a smile is lets try to...

Welcome to the Forum. Not aware of ecalc. Thanks. :) My advice is Hobbyking has a great sale on. https://hobbyking.com/

Frog and Toad is Road I think.

I may end up being the slowest builder in the world. :) But I think I am a builder now @Jackson

Not tried it but. Just sat here wondering if a blob of hot glue could increase the size of the plugs. I will have a look later. Tweezers may be a better idea or your may end up will a permanent plug connection :)

:) Cheers guys. I could remove 1 @Spork , which is part of the attraction. No short term hex plans but for less than £3 per frame I could not resist. If only to get hands on with the designs to consider how I would build them. While I have copied parts in my current build, I did change the...

oops just bought two Hexacopter frames. Does that mean I have to find a new group or do we just never mention it again. ;)

@mozquito1 when you say "Solder the esc power leads, test them." how do you test them? I also have a 4 in 1 esc if this changes anything? I have this TX on my list, but I am going to get it to fly first :) (recommendations welcome)...

Evening @mozquito1, in order. Quite a collection of Drones, Hobyking has such a good sale on currently we could all end up with a few. :-) Yes I have Blue locktight and it has been used thus far. :) yes I do have a multimeter and I am learning how to use it. Just found out I am supposed to...

Soldering soon

Commercial regulations are different again... But under 20kg and non commercial and the following seems to apply. (I am not a lawyer or an employee of the CAA, this is just what I have found so far. Hope it helps) For recreational drone flights you may want to read this...

Thanks @Spork Technically it will work, it just felt like one less thing to have to set. That said I guess I will need to configure other elements is either Betaflight or Clearflight.

Rather than rotating my flight controller to enable easy access to the Micro USB for configuration. What about using one of these to remove another level of complexity from a first build...

My mother calls me a butterfly brain for the same reason. :-) Life is too short, to many different thing to experience.

Big drone to start on. Bet it went well!!

Worth doing the props or the colour change in my opinion @HiDesertHal . I am finding it a big help getting the hang of my drone.

Fair correction Hal :) So far I have noticed a higher proportion of posters ride cruisers. :D

! How many drones do you have @mozquito1 ? :-)
