Building my first hex

[j45on]

After seeing flite test';s Anycopter I thought it was a great idea and promptly started trying to copy it (they now supply the plans free)
Anyway like most things I build they get bigger,I had intended to use parts from my H-quad but decided against that but stuck with DT750 motors as I allready had 1 and loads of props.

Here is my laser cut H-quad next to the start of my Hex


I planned to mill out some motor mounts like I used on the H-quad but then decided to try something new

H-quad mounts


I mounted the motor straight into the arm the wires also run inside the arm


I';m using 15mm aluminium box for the arms and using locktite Secured a cube of aluminium into the end of the arm then drilled the motor and grub screw holes



Cad mockups (grub screws in wrong place)




Body end with wire cutout


I just need to make 5 more arms now

Very nice and very neat to

great stuff, that arm looks nicely done and i like the idea of running the cable along inside, should look quite tidy when finished.
