Here's another sneak peek at my MultiWiiCopter.com Scarab Avatar tricopter:
I stopped by a junk electronics store today and picked up a bunch of funky items to add detail to the copter (some very cool looking items for mere pennies). Just waiting on the canopy and then it's time to paint! |

Hi I'm a long time fixed wing RC pilot with 30+ years experience in RC planes and now recently single rotor RC helis. I've got about 2months experience flying micro RC helis, both flybarred and non flybarred , I'm fairly comfortable doing most basic maneuvers ( figure eights, Fast forward flights, and nose in hovering) but no crazy 3D stuff. But I'm really really interested in aerial photography and some fun flying,, and maybe who knows maybe making a little money on the side doing this??? Is that possible??? I have a fairly good working knowledge of photography ( my wife and I had a small pet portrait business a few years back ) have also done a small amount of video. I'd like to combine my two loves : flying RC and photography. So,,,,,, would like to get experience in a quad or other multicopter. Don't want to spend alot at first ( maybe 300-700usd) currently I'm flying all my planes and helis on a spektrum DX-8. I have two high quality chargers, lots of 2200mah 3s lipos,, and a few 3200mah 4s lipos. Which multicopter would you recommend to get my feet wet and maybe later grow with??

This kit has everything included, your just have to build it. (no GoPro) http://www.multiwiicopter.com/products/sku-19 |

I have a question for those who have built a Scarab Y6. I putting one together, but already had my own carbon fiber 12mm arms. However, I'm confused as to the optimum length. In the online guide, they recommend 230mm for the length, but the arms on the Scarab Y6 kit are 290mm. What is the best length for the arms for the Scarab Y6 with the 775KV motors?
Thanks! |

No worries mate. Always happy to help. The thinner booms are okay as a temporary measure as long as you don't fly too hard. I used the thinner booms initially and it flew okay. In saying this I always fly conservatively and never really threw it around or did any aero's (that's what my little quad and tri is for). Bottom line is use them if you've got nothing else - just don't push them too hard. Cheers, John |
