Thanks yup lots of fun flying around the equipment when parks are empty, usually this one is packed but this was right at the beginning of people staying in here so I got a bit lucky.

Yup gonna have to get out this afternoon at some point too, finally managed to get the motors on this gigantic hexacopter spinning the right way still not sure if it will take off but only one way to find out

I have some good news and some bad news.... the hexacopter is still in one piece and I don't think I damaged the props, that's the good news, the bad news is it didn't take off so I've got some debugging to do, think maybe my custom mixer stuff isn't compatible with newer version of betaflight, roll left and right was spinning up the correct props but throttling up to get to a hover caused 4 motors to run fast and 2 to run slow typically and was tipping backwards. Will try resetting the custom mmixer stuff back to defaults and double check my prop rotation/direction then give it another go, any other tips welcome, first time trying anything outside a traditional quadcopter setup really.

Minor update one of my motors was going the wrong way so now I have take off. Unfortunately just after take off I have a crazy hula dance in the air followed by disarm, I think I need to use higher voltage batteries though think it's just under powered and needs tuning now.
