Sick, Dave!!! Glad to see you posting again. This looks fun..🔥🔥🤙🏻

Bought. Will post an in-depth review upon receipt. I'm super stoked for this Dave! I think it'll be a nice in-between for my 5" and long-range rigs.

I like this drone since the first pictures you publised. Hexa in such a small size a able to take a gopro... bufff. Love it.

I want this one ! Looks like a great alternative to a classic 5" quad and it look so different 🙂 Great job !

Hi, the specs on the RTF version of the Rekon 7 Pro have changed. The flight stack and motors are different. Why is that?.@@DaveCFPV

This looks so cool!!

This looks like a really interesting design!

I really wish i could afford to tinker with this Y6. Great design vey impressive!! I'm sure this was not an easy one. Bravo!!

Thank you!

This is super cool. I want one because it is just so different from what everyone else is doing. You should definitely capitalize on this and make a 2207 "Tank" version for freestyle. Either way, this is badass and props (hahahaha) to you for making such a unique frame.

The way it gained speed after taking off reminded of how my 7" gained speed

I like what you have done. HD is an awesome platform, I have several of them. Do you plan to do a video on the analog platform? There are still customers using analog and would like to see the performance of analog as well as 03, caddx, and walksnail.

I'm curious to see your moonlight fpv feed from the vrx & the vtx dvr, would you share it ? Thanks.

This is sick.

Just ordered mine!,looking forward to a different experience,a question sir,could I use my 6s hv batteries?

Any tricopter would be pretty cool

I want one!

For me wanting a longrange, lightweight forward flying cruiser, I would ditch the top motors in front and increase prop sizes for the bottom ones. Now I wonder what would happen if I halve the size of the rear motor/blade combo, maybe lengthen the tail arm to compensate?😂

Will there be just a frame kit for this so we can build our own?

Been flying my scratch build 4s Y6 for the last two year

What is the speed like compared to a 5" quad? for chasing cars and rc planes as examples?

One question Dave, if a ESC or a motor fails, the Y6 is able to continue flying?

can u just put on a good camera like a night vision DJI cam style & leave out the Go-Pro? It looks like it should get good reception with the antenna like they are.. it looks really good quality

is there anyway you can correct the control link antenna polarization? Horizontal is just wrong.

I love the way it looks but it might be hard to live with. The bottom props are likely to get scratched and dented very often

nice design Dave big fan... would it be possible that you can share some dvr? will the props show on the O3 widest view?

@DaveCFPV

Ай бұрын

Yes, soon

I’ve always wondered if the motors stacked on top of each other causes inefficiency? because if you think about it, both top and bottom motors are pushing the same air molecules, but if they were spread apart they would be pushing twice the air instead of pushing the same air twice. Either way that still a bad ass drone.

@@catbroh I think so, because the rear motor both are needed for yaw control, not positive though

Looks very nice, but isn't the tail overpowered due to center of mass being way in the front? That would reduce efficiency. Also not quite 50% more prop area due to inefficiences of stacked props. Back in time they used higher pitch - lower diameter props on the bottom to compensate for this. One real benefit of this setup is the added redundancy if one of the motors or ESCs fail.

@DaveCFPV

Ай бұрын

Not really, the COG is actually pretty much where the center of the thrust is depending a bit on which action cam and batteries.

dvr??

Why not use prop nuts instead of the T-mount? I really hated the t-mount on my rekonfpv4 FR and switched to 1804's with propnuts. Losing those tiny screws in the field, only to find them down in my flight bag when i get home really ruins an already ruined trip to go fly. One clipped prop causes waaaaay more hassle then needed... Prop nuts please. Would instabuy if it had those, and maybe a version without the vtx, so i can instal my Walksnail V2 or whatever. Maybe even with a pre installed vtx cable so we can pnp our digital vtx after some re-pinning (so HDzero pilots can enjoy this to).

This was my interview and the company I work for was having a marketing video made and the owner of my company told him that I was a freestyle pilot. This was so F up but really cool at the sametime. Thanks for the tips Brandon

Why dont you make use of the antenna as landing legs/stands instead of just pointing out all over the place, you can make em multi-purpose that way and give em a strong springy plastic or something. Send me a drone to test if you make use of this :P im broke and it looks cool

@@DaveCFPV Yeah, not much you can do about that with the pro-wash from the upper prop blowing down through the lower prop.

You told you will talk about the pros and cons but the cons never came :( Here I got some what I was seeing and hearing in the video. After take off a seconds later you tell you have an ND filter and stabilization ON and right in the next sentece you say it's not stabilized (afterwards, No! Becuse you can't stabilized a footage twice).. I don't need 2 extra motors and pros to take a fullsize action cam thats a lot of addicional weight..just increesing the prop size makes the deal. It has a lot of vibrations (visible in the footage in the freestyle section) and the yawl feels strange by every "Y" configuration. It's small BUT is not for freestyle, is cinematic BUT is not long range, it's stable BUT you can't dive. It's good BUT is unnecesary. Your best product was the recon 6, thats an amazing rig this should be minimum as good as that is if you coming out with a new quad in 2024. The quality is realy nice, the prints are well made and it's visible that you were thiking on this for a while but did it made the point? A few years earlier it would be an amazing idea. It's like iFlight's Afterburner 5 it's unnecesary, thay also made a quad which is cinematic and great and nobody saw something like this before and it has the props in view and is perfect for everything but . In my opinion it's something what keeps the numbers up, you have to come out whit something otherwise people will buy other companies Y6-es and Afterburers. Peace! ✌

This one is more capable, but wanna see more reviewa and footage of flight performance, light freestyle. Can't find rekon 6 on sale,, i think if it was, i took rekon 6 to carry gopro.

Is there such a thing as a separate 'mothership' drone with a sole purpose of hovering up high / hold it's altitude statically with a signal repeater setup of sorts? I would think the signal penetration and distance would be much greater than just ground to drone alone. Sounds like a product begging to be created with many uses even outside just hobby level.
