I build a Y-6 FPV Hexacopter

Here it is: A Y6 hexacopter build from scrap parts and a self printed TPU frame.

Pardon the build quality. I really hacked it together in a total of 4 hours. It looks like sh*t, but it flies SO GOOD!

It’s running Betaflight 3.5. The motors are just some random Racerstars – two different sizes even! 2206 on top, 2205 on the bottom. The ESCs are two 20A and 4 30A (Racerstar and Makerfire).

Ghost / unknown flying object (FPV Freestyle Double Feature)

I uploaded a new video onto the Tube, it’s called “Ghost / unknown flying object”.

I liked picking up the idea of a double feature, which is movie enthusiast slang nowadays, but used to be quite common: You pay once, and get to see two movies (two features).

It’s mainly footage from my Mallorca trip in 2018, the intro is me chasing Sean’s wing in Hallstadt, Germany. It’s not related to Mallorca, just thought to myself it makes for a good opening. Well, now that i think about it, that sesh was the last time I went flying before going on that plane, so it kinda has its place there at the beginning.

So, without further ado: Enjoy and please subscribe!

Martian II FPV Camera Angles

In case you’re wondering, since it’s not stated in the manual:

The notches for setting the FPV Camera angle are 15°, 30° and 45°.

There you go, Internet, now it’s documented forever 🙂

I fly 30° personally, since for freestyle I think 45 is too fast and 15 is so incredibly slow, you’re almost not moving forward at all.

Have a look at my FPV Freestyle Videos on YouTube if you like!

Shopping furniture

The other day wanted to go shopping for furniture. But what’s that, they are closed on Sundays!? Well, then let’s at least rip their parking lot a bit.

Ripping around: GIANT CHAIR EDITION!

This video is more than overdue, i procrastinated editing and uploading it way too long.

This was filmed almost 3 weeks ago, we had a lot of fun and a lot of damage while flying around our local XXL Neubert (you get overpriced furniture there, don’t even ask).

First few batteries were just me ripping around the parking lot, then Daniel killed his Eachine Lizard 95 and the girls were getting hungry. Side note: Never go flying with hungry girls, unless you have no more than two batteries with you. End side note.

Anyway, then i decided to finish my last battery at the giant red chair that was standing around (it’s like 30 or so meters high, at the very least), but i did **NOT** scout the location enough and overlooked the number one enemy of every miniquad pilot: WATER! TO THE RESCUE!

Equipment used:

  • Martian II 5″ Frame
  • F3 V4 AIO Board from Banggood
  • Racerstar 2206 Motors
  • King Kong 5040 5x4x3 Props
  • Eachine K-Loverleaf 5.8G 5dBi RHCP Antennas
  • Eachine VR D2 Goggles

  • GoPro Session
  • 3D Printed GoPro Session Mount from Banggood

FPV Miniquad Vert: Practicing Rolls, Flips Powerloops and Split-S

Today i went out to practice some trick combinations with my 220mm Martian II Mini-Quadcopter.

I know, you pros out there maybe think i’m still shaking a lot and not always staying in the flow, but isn’t that why you practice!? 😉

I’m into flight models since 2016 and into FPV miniquads since Feb 2017, so bare with me! Still, I think i made quite an improvement within the last 4 months 😉
