Customer Description:
This was a complicated build because it required a custom mix. We used the instructions found here to build the mix.
After building a custom mix, the HEX was very flyable and it actually had no issues on it’s maiden flights.
Ive got more videos and photos coming so stay tuned!
Flight Characteristics:
Observations:
The Hex is a smooth flier with Baseflight and stock PIDS. Building a custom mix really helped this quad fly with ease.
What do you like most about this quad?
I would like to continue to work on the programming behind this quad. It’s all motor and very fast, but I would like to also add some gadgets to make this thing unique, such as Sonar and GPS. I also need to work on the Magnetometer because it is off in the videos and needs to be calibrated.
I also need to replace the VTX with a better one. I have a lumenier tx5g6 installed and I have found that the Hawkeye line of Vtxs work much better.
