The 3DR Y6 copter is a reliable new offering from 3D Robotics.
The 6 motor coaxial configuration has a number of advantages over other multi-rotor configurations.
- Co-located motors preserve thrust symmetry in a single motor out scenario. The Y6 keeps flying if an ESC or motor fails mid-air.
- There are only three arms on the Y6. This translates into being able to carry a greater payload, having to maintain fewer components, as well as providing superior performance in higher wind conditions.
- The wide front arm offset is perfect for keeping a clear forward view when a camera is attached to the Y6.
- The front arms on the Y6 are capable of folding towards the back arm which offers an incredibly compact package for traveling and storage.
- Motor to motor distance in flight position: 500mm
- Payload clearance under body: 135mm
- Weight without battery: 1200g
- Maximum recommended weight: 2500g
