Multicopter Challenge Entry

25.2k kikasshes  9.2 years ago
Auto Credit Based on WhenSupertogoPhysics's QUADCOPTER CHALLENGE

This is a hexacopter in a Y-configuration. Only uses propellers and a rotator block. Nothing special about the controls, the VTOL-slider doesn't do anything. It's very hard to fly and especially land. A gyro for this would help so much!

    I could try all three. If I have to choose I want to try the one with a gimbal.

    Np, I will slowly add the upvotes, because now you cannot make more than two at the time @kikasshes

    Just amazing, the best one so far, maybe less pitch range on the props helps (unless you are using throttle control on one of the pairs to tilt) unluckily in the game there are no electronic parts you could code an order like stabilize every time you leave the controls ; ) even my quadcopter I built last week myself does not look nearly as cool as this one (yeah that's why I started the challenge)
