3DR ArduCopter Y6 KIT 2014

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
