APVM Series: Y720/Y720R Version 0.6

Hello,
Here is small update about my slow activity :)
I built and tested v0.6 of my Y720R.

Specification:
  • Frame type - Y6
  • Size - ~720mm diameter
  • Motors - Multistar 3508 380kV (diff from v0.5)
  • Propellers - 15x55/14x55/13x55
  • ESC - 30A AfroESC Opto
  • Flight controller - 3DR Pixhawk
  • Battery - 6S (diff from v0.5)
  • Weight: 1800g without battery
  • Flight time ~13min (5200mAh and 14x55 props)

I used ESC mounts described here.

And there is no ugly green square plates, all surfaces are machined from CF:

Tarot 16mm tubes were replaced by custom cut thicker ones with 1.5mm wall:


It's still not perfect but looks nicer especially in Nevada desert landscape :)
