    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    I am working on a dual battery bracket so I can mount them on each side of center hub. And change to 2 8000mah batteries. Pics will come soon.

    That's because 5500mah is the largest battery that I could see they sell.

    Naza M v2 gps/Specktrum DX8

    Right now on my Storm Drone 6 hexacopter it came with the Devo7 tx/rx, it's not bad but I like my DX8. I was wondering has anyone married the Naza M v2 gps with a DX8. I want to know what programming issues would be if I converted it. The Drone 6 has eliminated the retractable landing gear...

    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    It is never a good idea to plug a fully charged battery into a charger it can be damaged. The batteries you have are 11.1v and you show 11.13v when you plug them into the charger. Overcharging is bad which can cause the battery to swell or explode. As for the voltage you show when you plug...

    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    When you charge your battery do you plug the small connector into the correct socket. The green lights should not blink they should be solid. Only the charge light should change color red when the battery needs recharging, then amber and final solid green when fully charged. It is important...

    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    @ David, as for you adding a stronger FPV transmitter to your drone you need to be aware that the FCC requires you to have a TECHNICAL ham operator's license to operate your drone with FPV and avoid fines. These are very easy to get and are cheap. You can find out on the FCC web site for your...

    @ Herena, Ok remember when you want to control something from the handheld transmitter (tx) this is where you will make the connection not the Naza nothing gets plugged into the Naza. Buried under the top of the drone is your Naza and your receiver (rx). Here you will find all the control...

    Yes the drone will rock if you decend straight down this is know as "settling with power" the drone is coming down to fast and is entering its own downwash. This will happen with all drones and helicopters. As a real copter pilot we are trained to decend slower or decend with a slight...

    Yes very little comes with the drone however I did find everything I needed online to put it together. If you still have questions let me know and I can Skype you or answer your message. Better to Skype.

    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    I also forgot to mention that the camera position kit does keep the props and landing gear out of the picture.

    Yes I did the Camera Position Kit is vital if you want to add dual batteries. When using 2 batteries and the GoPro you must balance the drone. This is done by sliding the camera or batteries in or out from the center of the drone.

    STORM Drone 6 GPS Flying Platform

    Yes I have the storm Drone 6 and I love it. It took less than a week for me to get it from China. I ordered the D6 with upgraded Naza M V2 GPS, battery holder, deluxe FPV and the Tarot gimble. When it came all the hard stuff was assembled and all I had to assemble was the landing gear, mount...
