off season project #2 hexacopter

[Aeon]

Anyone here fly quad, hexa or octocopters? I'm building a 900mm hex.

Lol. My offseason project is to talk my wife into letting me get a compound bow, so basically I'll be able to spend twice as much time hunting.

What caliber will that helicopter and that being?

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to mount a paint ball gun on it. Imagine strafing runs on squirrels with a full auto paint gun

No but it may be Dutch. The Fins do build awesome guns though!

If I yell "PULL" as it flies overhead can I shoot it? ;D

In Colorado, I think you might even be able to collect a bounty on it.

it gets off the ground much more testing and setup to be done to get it dialed in but not bad for a first flight

Nice crash. Have had similar result with a well established craft....

 

[Aeon]

this one is custom from top to bottom, hybrid 680pro frame stretched out so it can spin 15x5.5 props. It will be a triple deck vs the two deck that it is stock. 380kv motors. 30amp speed controllers. Pixhawk flight controller with GPS, barometer, Giro's and soon to have sonic ranger maybe. With gopro and gimbal it was getting 24min of flight time with moderate use. 5000 6s battery.

crash was the result of a brown out... software glitch in the pixhawk. if it had been up another 30 feet i think it would have corrected and not hit. you can hear it wake up just before impact.

here is a older video when i was flight testing the first time, no gimbal just a go pro clamped to the front
