6061 HexaCopter ARF Kit & Frame Kit Now with 9 Channel RC Radio Option!
"Something we noticed right off is the great payload lifting ability of the Hexacopter compared to other multicopters while staying very stable. Test Pilots are comparing it to a 600 CP Class RC heli when it comes to lifting and more stability without the expensive lipo batteries and the threat of 600mm carbon fiber blades a 600 uses". The 6061 Hexacopter Kit is a powerful multicopter with the frame being strong and light weight (under 11oz/300 grams) Great for the Professional
or Do-it-Yourself RC pilot that demands the best performance as well as a good performing aircraft that looks good. The 6061 Hexacopter was designed with heavier payloads, more power and longer flights in mind. Ideal for lifting heavier DSLR cameras, larger batteries, complete FPV gear, etc.... You can add your own electronics/flight gear or purchase the 6061 Hexacopter ARF Kit. The 6061 Hexacopter frames are Strong and Very Crash
Forgiving.
Because the 6061 Hexacopter frame handles abuse much better you'll spend
more time flying and less time repairing or gathering spare parts. We have full line of spare parts if you might need them or want to stack frame center sections...you won't get stuck with no part support like cheapy eBay type frames.
The 6061 Hexacopter frame has Bushing Isolated Aluminum Boom arms which
are designed with Aerial Photography (AP) and FPV piloting in mind and
there much stronger then using weaker RC Heli tail booms or wood. Because the Hexacopter booms are rubber bushing
isolated much less vibration is being transmitted to the main frames
giving better results. Ideal for use with HD cameras and this is also an added benefit for the electronics, AP/FPV cameras and
other gear
that is typically mount on the frame. The booms can be folded back making it easier for
transportation. We have other options like Landing gear, GoPro HD/Point and Shoot cam tilt mount, and New #QH600CP Anti-vibe Camera Platform. Some options include Extended landing gear and Anti-Vibe camera platform. The 6" tall 9" wide Extended landing gear #QH600LG is made from 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and gets the Hexacopter up off the ground with plenty of room for under-slung camera mounts. The other option is the Anti-Vibe Camera Platform QH600CP which is great for getting rid of waves/ripples in HD videos that are common effect from vibrations. To help get rid of this effect the QH600CP is mounted with 4 large isolation bushings and the results are very pleasing giving sharper video. The platform has standard 1/4" mounting holes for Point & Shoot or DSLR type cameras with overall dimensions of 5-1/2" width and 4-1/2" height.
The 6061 Hexacopter is 24" (30cm) across from motor to motor.
#QH600LG Hexacopter Landing Gear with optional Anti-Vibe Camera Platform #QH600CP weight 8oz.
The Camera Platform can handle up to 3lbs and a fully loaded 6061 Hexacopter can lift more
then 4 extra pounds with 10x4 props.
Why were not using Fiberglass, G-10, Wood
or Carbon Fiber? although these materials are good
they lack the
ability to withstand a crash as well as aluminum when used as a
frame....and if aluminum is bent, in most cases it can be flatten back out so your good to fly again without having to
find, wait or make parts. If adding holes are
needed to mount cameras, etc...aluminum is still going to remain strong where the other
materials become weaker and even splinter and/or separate the
laminated layers making them weaker when drilled.

The 6061 Hexacopter is made from strong light weight aircraft aluminum
it can take the stress of RC flying better then most other materials
not to mention it looks sexy on the ground or flying overhead.
The 6061 Hexacopter frame plates have 6 large Dimple Died holes just like those
used on full size aircraft and race cars. This type of hole gives even
better strength and rigidness along with making the plate lighter
weight.
Designed for using 3s or 4s (3500-8000mah) lipo battery depending on your power needs.
Can lift over 4lbs easily and fly for over 10-15 minutes with a recommended 5000 or 6000mah 4s 30c or higher lipo. Flight time varies with payload and battery. ( more Specs and video below )_________________________________________________________________________________________________
