The Hexacopter - Butter Smooth?
Рет қаралды 184,530
5 жыл бұрынBefore the quadcopter became the one and only standard for freestyle multirotors as it is today, we experimented with other types of aircraft. Like the Blackout Hexacopter, known for its stability and smooth flying over the quadcopters of its time. But how does it compare to our modern-day kwads?

Drib come on man... I would've been pissed! you broke 2 frames (antiques to modern tech) and laughed about it. After getting ballzy with an underpowered hex. Tommy I feel for ya, good job keeping the composure. I hope Tommy has another pristine Hex or at least a blackout 250. For an analogy, that's like drifting a Ferrari F40 into a wall and then brushing it off like it isn't a big deal.

I dont think the analogy works since one costs way less lol, but I get it they're rare and in this case has sentimental value I think its just the way drew flies, he just crashes everything, doesnt matter if its his or not

I've had a few "Oddballs" over the years (Couple Y6's, A few tricopters, Several Hex's, And a feckin' ridiculous 5" X8 that I built for a laugh) and have to say that my hex's were really good for relaxed freestyle flying. I'm more into freestyle than racing, So I tend to under spec the motors a little on non gimbal carrying hex's. It's just so they're not pulling crazy amps and I can run the same smaller/lighter packs I use for my quads. At the minute I've only got one 5" hex, But it usually gets strapped on my backpack when I'm out with a few 5" and 3" quads for a mess about. It's a nice relaxing frame to fly at the end of a day, But as you said, It can be quite a floaty multirotor without active braking. A 2 or 3" hex could be interesting.
