The ElectroHub Y6 Kit is designed with our FPV Rail System which offers endless options for mounting camera and gimbal systems for AP (Aerial Photography) and FPV.
Below is the basic list of the accessories mentioned in this build, some of which are included and other items can be purchased separately!
ElectroHub Y6 Kit
- ElectroHub* power distribution hub
- Wooden Booms*
- Simple Y6/X8 Motor Mounts*
- G-10 Angle Arm Brackets
- Flight Control Board Mounting Plate
- FPV (Long) Rail System*
- Power Pack "D" (Hexacopter)
The Y6 copter is built around the ElectroHub power distribution hub.
The power distribution solder pads of the ElectroHub offer a clean and easy setup of your electronics.
You can build a really clean setup on your multi-rotor with the dual plates of the ElectroHub.
The Y6 is setup with our (Long) Rail System. You can learn more about this and other components in our store. The rails are made from lightweight aluminum.
The adjustable (Long) Rail System allows you to adjust CG and create custom camera mounting setups.
This landing gear is only available with the ElectroHub Y6 Kit.
The landing gear is designed to be customizable in height and length of the stance.
In this build, Eric set up his landing gear with a 6.25" height with a 7.5" length on the feet.
The ElectroHub Y6 Kit was created to offer a solid platform for flying Aerial Photography and with the ElectroHub and (Long) Rail System allow you to have a completely customizable copter.
The ElectroHub Y6 is basically a beefed up Tricopter with redundant motors.
When you are ready to mount your flight control board it's worth checking out our custom Mounting Plate.
The Flight Control Board Mounting Plate is an additional accessory but offer you a way to perfectly align your control board while allowing you to run your wires and create a very clean setup.
The G-10 Angle Arm Brackets are another optional component that is available in our Store!
You can learn more about how the Angle Arm Brackets work and see them in action in our Tough Tilt Episode.
The G-10 Angle Arm Brackets are available in our store along with the other additional components mentioned in this build!
The ElectroHub Y6 Kit was created to be versatile, customizable and cost effective. We can't wait to see your custom AP setups with your Y6 kit!
Good job guys!

That's going to be my next copter!
I have a question about redundancy. After loosing few copters due to motor failure,I did some research around the Internet, and discovered that, although a Y6 or a hex have redundant motors, the fact that it's gonna survive a failure of one motor, and not crash or spin, depends pretty much on the control board, and the general load on the motors.
I remember from the electrohub video, that Mickel's T copter survived such an accident and continued flying with only 5 motors functioning. And by looking close at the video, I could recognize the KK board, but not its version or software ;-)
So, are there any data about which control boards can handle one motor failure?
Million thanks,
Tal

I would just like to ask Eric or Josh B two questions:
When building the Dragonfly kit, would it be wise to use the G-10 Angle Arm Brackets on just the forward two arms and the tail arm or use them on all 5 arms?
If on all 5 arms, then which way would be best for the two center arms, downward pointing or upward pointing (taking into account that the other 3 would be upward pointing.)?

What I don't get is that you are using 6 times the motors with the red parts and not using the black. So what is the configuration of the type of motors that you will have to use?

And do I recall seeing in another video that this arrangement helps reduce ground effect issues?
Thanks!
