I got one of these from the original release. Fun to fly. With such a good flight duration, it's crying out for INAV or Ardu pilot so to have waypoint missions. Unfortunately only Betaflight works, but I'm sure that won't bother most people.
Hi Steve 😀👋. WOW very impressive 😁💯 and extremely fast. Lol never seen a 6 motor drone until now,but loved it. Not as loud as I thought it would be. A great drone for experienced flyers. Thank you so much and have a great week My friend. God bless you and your family always 🙏.
I answered your reply below. does this drone use GPS? if so does it use geo fencing ? does it show a home point where it took off from? what does the drone do if it loses a signal? does it do a fly away? is there any telemetry from the drone through the goggles? I was reading that the Y6 has a min100 GPS chip
If you are new to the FPV hobby and GPS in the FPV hobby, then I’d suggest that you look up “GPS RESCUE” so that you don’t confuse it with RTH GPS included in beginner camera drones which have GEO fencing since beginners fly those. GPS Rescue is based on FAILSAFE. FAILSAFE is what is in your TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER and it is up to you to set it up in both the TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER via BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR. FPV Drones with GPS RESCUE can show an ARROW pointing to home if that is what you wish… Again, you set that up in BETAFLIGHT CONFIGURATOR.
Wooohooo i have this drone, its fast,can definitely carry any acrion camera and really good flight times! Only bad things are, the vtx antenna always comes loose it needs glued or cable tied, and the moters come loose quite often, need somthing like loctite to keep the screws in, but i like it,just be careful landing can be easy to catch the lower props
Hey Steve, I had a thought while I was watching this video. See the bit you do indoors, were you're sitting at the table showing what comes in the box? You should call that bit, "At the Captain's Table", you're welcome.
Reminds me of the HK vehicle in the Terminator movies. I had wondered what happened to this "hex" (not quad) had seen reviews months ago. I built my first ever quad recently and used that same GPS HGLRC M100 GPS module. Love it. Grabs sats in no time.
Dude, I was expecting an unreal price tag, I wasn't even going to bother lookinv. And it can take my 3000 batteries!?!? This is a win for me. Also, from Steven to Steve, yes...yes we look like dog bones😂 I'm built the exact same way!
Hi Steve ... your friend from Florida who is still in Brasil Hope you have had the chance to visit Brasil at least a few times by now, I love it here I am in the very south, Santa Catarina You sure have broken into flying just about anything these days, eh ! You're going to need to buy another house to keep all those aircraft ! By now I have 2 orange P8's and 2 newer black P8's and my SG 907 Max Mostly flown at isolated beaches here Bought half a dozen other drones off eBay USA, they are still sitting in PO Box, till I return to the US Fly SAFE Steve ! Ciao from Brasil Obrigado !
I wish I could say I’ve been to Brazil this year, but unfortunately note, but my Daughter In Law did make it back to Brazil to visit her parents. My wife really wants to check out Brazil so maybe next year.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I am guessing she is from the south, is very European here, you will think you are in Germany in many towns. For you to fly, best to make your way to Ft Lauderdale, then take an AZUL flight to most major cities like Recife, Campinas, Sao Paulo, RIO, Manaus, Belem - DIRECT non stop You won't be sorry ! IF you come to Florianopolis, be sure to let me know
You are going to have to make an appolgy video its T Hexacopter or coaxial tricopter, so not a quad or Y. Originally folks did it to help get props out of the shot. Y tricopters used to use 3 RC helicopter tail gyros and a servo to tilt the tail motor.
I expected all of such comments because simply, there is no correct name that is accepted by all, so sticking with DRONE or QUAD is a universal term that everyone identifies with no matter how many arms or motors a remotely piloted aircraft has. This is why many will disagree with you as to the name and others may agree. This is the great thing about the comments section… everyone has a thought and often an opinion, and are free to express it.
Jedi Steve strikes one as being a bright guy with a quick wit, and a decent pilot. I suppose we tend to hang with those of like mind, as well as like name.
only problem i see is prop prosition, there's not a lot of clearance for a drop mechanism or not enough room to carry a pg-7 warhead, might be alright for surveillance or specialised plastics shape for taking out high alt drones.
I remember a couple years ago when this design first started circulating, and everyone laughed. Only thing I dont like is those tall antenna. First time upside down, and they will fold into the props, and your screwed. Or get caught trying to go thru to small of a space. Would def stick some stubbies on it.
Great review Steve. Appreciate the detailed review, testing and insight into flight times and battery choices. This quad looks like a real winner. What transceiver are you using? Keep up the good work!
So many folks hung up on semantics. Who cares what you call it? Y6 is an easy name. Thanks for a great review of a very interesting craft. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻
You are correct! Originally I had a two minute segment where I went through all the possible names for this drone and why they would be incorrect. Then I thought… I’ll leave it out of the video and let all the people who think they know best to chime in. So far, no one has suggested a name that works. Hex is for 6 arms, 6 motors, so that doesn’t work. Tri-copter, is for 3 arms, 3 motors, so that doesn’t work.
Steve are there any settings in betaflight to set besides the y6 configuration in the motor section. My y6 wants to flip over when throttling up. The motors and blades are set to turn in the correct orientation.
Hello! For drift car chasing would you buy the Y6 or something else instead? My geprc cinebot30 is not powerful enough if a gopro is attached to make footage.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 why do they call the drone "long range" and 20 minutes is long enough to fly the drone long distance. As you showed too with a bigger battery you can get more airtime.
Maybe I missed it in the video, but how long is long range and how much longer is that than its many competitors? Need a reason here to buy one vs DJI.
In the Advanced FPV Pilot Hobby, the term LONG RANGE refers to the video and transmission signal. The RANGE is determined by the PILOT. This means the PILOT uses the proper ANTENNAS on drone and RADIO, the pilot uses a LONG RANGE RECEIVER in the drone with proper antenna. The PILOT uses a BATTERY size and chemistry that will provide and extended flight time, and finally the PILOT sets up the Drone and RADIO so that if a connection is lost, the drone will FAILSAFE to GPS and return in the direction of home.
Well done Captain !!! and, I assume you set Jedi Steves alarm clock to get him out of bed !!!; great review from both of you!!! (and pretty amazing sixtect???l as distinct from quad !!!)
QUESTION: Can you purchase the analog version and manually upgrade to the O3 unit (I have several O3 units spare) - to cut down the cost???? Love the review BTY
It has a DJI 03 Camera so you can only use DJI FPV Goggles (newer versions). As for a Transmitter, you simply use any transmitter (radio) that is compatible with the Receiver you placed in the drone.
Im still new to all this, so please mind my ignorance. Looking for a pair of goggles, but dji is specific to dji and i want to print and build one for learning purposes. Where do i find fpv goggles that are compatible with most drones? If that's a thing. Or if there is a video youve made thay clarifies this. Appreciaye any help. Thanks.
Yes, I do have a video. Watch this video and part way through I answer your question of what goggles work with what: th-cam.com/video/W27r_La2mdc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QH5pgYxPGHKzt4yW
Long Range is based on many things in the FPV hobby: - First, Range is based on the battery used (you need power to fly out and fly back) - Second, Range is based on your VTX system (video system). You need to see the video in your goggles no matter how far you fly - Third, Range is based on the Receiver and the Transmitter (Receiver in drone, Transmitter in the Radio in your hands) - Fourth, Range is based on the type of antennas used on Radio, Goggles, Drone - Fifth, Range is based on on where you fly (in the FPV Hobby you fly in and out of objects which kills transmission). If you fly an FPV drone like a DJI GPS Camera drone (above the trees) then you get long range.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 LOL, I'm from Calgary originally (living in th US sadly now) so I had to make a comment when I saw the hat! I was pulling for them too last year (don't tell anyone) lol! Love your channel, you've turned me into a much better, more knowledgeable FPV guy.
Thank you for showing this (I’m guessing it would be called a “Tri-Six”?) anyways, I’m getting this because of this video. I do appreciate you demonstrating and showcasing this (what looks like) an amazing “Tri-Six” copter. Love your videos brother. I always watch your videos/reviews. To you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving.👍👍💯💯🙂👌
The rule is this…. If any human asks if they should get an AVATA 2 or another drone it means two very important things. #1…. They have enough money to afford an AVATA 2. #2… They are a NEWBIE and have no idea about the FPV Hobby. My advice in such a case, get the AVATA 2 as it is made for 100% NEWBIES and you’ll have a good experience.
Yes, that is where most people in the RC Hobby buy RC products from. Banggood is simply a Chinese AMAZON (they don’t make products but retailers sell through them).
Looks like you really need to be careful when you land because of the bottom props, really cool and different, think i am going to get on, great video/review
I am in Ottawa, and I do get asked often by viewers to come and join me flying. My response is the same to everyone, and that is that during the summer months I fly at my local Millinnium Park every Saturday and Sunday mornings at 7:30am, and all are welcome to come out and fly whatever they have (planes, helicopters, drones). Most days, during the summer there are at least 12 people flying.
A quad has 4 rotors. This is an FPV drone with either 3 counter rotating rotors or 6 rotors . Great review despite the cringes due to the multiple "quad" references
“Quad” was used as a generic bookmark and also to cause people to comment because there is no agreed upon name for this style of drone. So, the result was successful. Hundreds of comments from hundreds of viewers all with a different take on how to identify the drone in one or two words. If you have time, and a coffee, have a read of the comments.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You are correct. Totally didn't think on that one.... Just calling it mine will be a great start 😄 Then I can name it personally like my other kids I mean quads . My Avata 2 I named Dronan, the Air 3 is Dronicus, Neo is well.... Neo, Nazgul5 is still TBD..... Thank you for the review as well! Your video on the masterairscrew props for the avata 2 was the deciding factor for getting them, enjoying, and setting a personal best top speed 😎
I think you may be surprised to realize that no one can agree on a descriptive name for this. Is it a HEX (six motors)… Is it a Tri-copter (3 arms)… No one agrees. I call it a QUAD because it is the same as everything in life where you say a name and everyone knows what you are talking about, kinda like BANDAID, ZEROX, etc.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Those examples are brand names being genericized. It's not really the same. Mislabeling something is just that. I was involved in this hobby as a manufacturer in the early 2000's and there wasn't any confusion then. If there is now, you have an opportunity to help people understand the differences in these models. I know, a lot of people just call every quadcopter a "drone" even though they don't know the definition of a drone. I've even heard people call large quads that you can fly in "manned drones" which is, of course, an oxymoron. It looks like you care about accuracy in your videos and this is an area where you can make a difference. I enjoy your videos and wish you continued success with your channel.
Wikipedia: ...in which the names tricopter, quadcopter, hexacopter and octocopter are frequently used to refer to 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-rotor rotorcraft... So stop arguing, it is a hexacopter.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 dude, the number stays for rotors. Wiki and rekonfpv already named it: Y6 - hexacopter in Y configuration. I have expected more from a "captaindrone" ...
I don't think those battery checkers that give percentages are very accurate. You need to have a working and accurate mAh counter on your aircraft to get good results or else use the mAh counter on your charger to measure the amount of mAh put back in after the flight.
Thanks for the comment. I will say that once you are in the RC hobby for 15 years, these cheap little battery voltage testers make perfect sense. I use them all the time with a ridiculous number of brands of batteries and they provide sufficient info to extrapolate the results.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You could easily test how reliable one of yours is by flying a full battery down to about 50% remaining (as far as the tester was concerned) and then charging the battery back to full and seeing what the mAh back in are reported as by the charger. This would give you an idea how reliable your method is. I'd do the test a few times to check for consistency. I am guessing you'll find it's not that accurate but I could be proven wrong.
It should be mentioned that the original design is the Freylon Y copter and HGLRC stole his design from the designer. They are saying that it is different because their quad has a T-Shape instead of the original Y-Shape. Still this is copyright infringement!
In caveman thinking terms that is certainly correct. I’m not calling you a caveman but just pointing out your logic is in the realm of simplicity. But if you think about arms that are only 3, then the caveman thinking needs to evolve
You can spend hours trying to figure out a cool name for it. A hex has six arms, a quad has 4 arms, a drone can be anything (plane, helicopter, drone), a tricopter has 3 arms… getting close, yet it has six motors. Someone will come up with a cool name for these that will stick.
@@Simulacra001 right and the number stands for amount of rotors. Why nobody is checking out the definition of multicopter in wikipedia instead of arguing...
I apologize for asking an easily politicized question. When I saw the thumbnail of the aircraft it reminded me of a mini documentary about the conflict in Ukraine. Is this one of the y-configured drones that has been weaponized by the Ukrainian military and that’s why there was such a shortage?
Yes QUAD means 4, TRI means 3 and HEX means 6. When you are talking about a drone, the words Drone & Quad are often used to mean the same thing, but if you wish to be descriptive, then Quad means 4, TRI means 3 and HEX means 6, and none of those terms would apply to the Y6 when trying to be specific.
That looks like a totally wild hexacopter! I wonder if the componant that was out of stock was one that Ukraine is using to built their quads, which they produce in the tens of thousands each month. I can see that happen if they had finalized a design, then bought up all the of the supply for that component to ensure their production, since, after all, their UAV building is a matter of life and death, not recreation.

Thanks mate , I’m 3 years in , I’m from the uk, your vids are very helpful thank you boss man ! 😎🤜🤛
Glad you like them!
I built and fly my own Y4 design. Prototyped it in 3d printed materials then had the frame cut by a company in Canada. Flys pretty good.
I got one of these from the original release. Fun to fly. With such a good flight duration, it's crying out for INAV or Ardu pilot so to have waypoint missions.
Unfortunately only Betaflight works, but I'm sure that won't bother most people.

I was reading that the Y6 has a min100 GPS chip
If you are new to the FPV hobby and GPS in the FPV hobby, then I’d suggest that you look up “GPS RESCUE” so that you don’t confuse it with RTH GPS included in beginner camera drones which have GEO fencing since beginners fly those.

Great review Steve. Appreciate the detailed review, testing and insight into flight times and battery choices. This quad looks like a real winner. What transceiver are you using? Keep up the good work!

It has a DJI 03 Camera so you can only use DJI FPV Goggles (newer versions). As for a Transmitter, you simply use any transmitter (radio) that is compatible with the Receiver you placed in the drone.
So glad I’m not alone on the quad thing, but he said it so many times like it’s generic for any drone 😂

If I get one I shall call it the three six mine!!!
Can you recommend a "kit": Battery, controller and VR kit?
0:53 “six motor quad” eh?
3 arms & 6 motors… So far no one is able to give it a title. Give it a try.
@ well I’m not a genius, but I would think it would start with Tri…
tri, hex, how about "a trix" instead of "a quad"
Any information about the range? How far it can actually fly? What does it mean that it is called "long range"?
Long Range is based on many things in the FPV hobby:
- First, Range is based on the battery used (you need power to fly out and fly back)
- Second, Range is based on your VTX system (video system). You need to see the video in your goggles no matter how far you fly
- Third, Range is based on the Receiver and the Transmitter (Receiver in drone, Transmitter in the Radio in your hands)
- Fourth, Range is based on the type of antennas used on Radio, Goggles, Drone
- Fifth, Range is based on on where you fly (in the FPV Hobby you fly in and out of objects which kills transmission). If you fly an FPV drone like a DJI GPS Camera drone (above the trees) then you get long range.

Yes, that is where most people in the RC Hobby buy RC products from. Banggood is simply a Chinese AMAZON (they don’t make products but retailers sell through them).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 even in the

Looks like you really need to be careful when you land because of the bottom props, really cool and different, think i am going to get on, great video/review
You're right, the bottom props make for a delicate landing but it is so worth it for this drone!
You should try to mimic the owl's quietness in flight. Maybe it could work.👍🤟✌️ Maybe feathered props?
Set up an extra battery that can be aborted after it is done. Like they did with fuel drop tanks.🤔 👍
Are you in Ottawa? I am and would love to fly with you when you’re reviewing sometime.
I am in Ottawa, and I do get asked often by viewers to come and join me flying. My response is the same to everyone, and that is that during the summer months I fly at my local Millinnium Park every Saturday and Sunday mornings at 7:30am, and all are welcome to come out and fly whatever they have (planes, helicopters, drones). Most days, during the summer there are at least 12 people flying.
A quad has 4 rotors. This is an FPV drone with either 3 counter rotating rotors or 6 rotors . Great review despite the cringes due to the multiple "quad" references
“Quad” was used as a generic bookmark and also to cause people to comment because there is no agreed upon name for this style of drone. So, the result was successful. Hundreds of comments from hundreds of viewers all with a different take on how to identify the drone in one or two words. If you have time, and a coffee, have a read of the comments.
Its amazing but the price with Digital is quiet expensive for me
But the video is amazing
2nd comment from Philippines
Will get one !!
Great review on this Quad hexa tetra exa mega gizilion tri quad copter😂
Love the name, and you may be the closest to getting the description correct!
Aww I was going to say it's a hex motor, not a quad, but someone's already said that.
Ditto
What is the top speed
Honestly, I had planned to place a GPS on it, but never did. In my goggles I could see 80 & 90 MPH often.
Is it a quad or now a hex? 🤔
It is whatever you wish to call it, but I will say if you wish to be “DESCRIPTIVE” you can’t call it a QUAD or a HEX because it has 3 arms.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You are correct. Totally didn't think on that one.... Just calling it mine will be a great start 😄 Then I can name it personally like my other kids I mean quads . My Avata 2 I named Dronan, the Air 3 is Dronicus, Neo is well.... Neo, Nazgul5 is still TBD..... Thank you for the review as well! Your video on the masterairscrew props for the avata 2 was the deciding factor for getting them, enjoying, and setting a personal best top speed 😎
how much is it?
You have to click on the link and you’ll get the price for your country (the link is below the video within the Video Description)
Why are you calling a Tri-copter a Quad? It's named by the number of powered points, that are generally single or stacked motors.
I think you may be surprised to realize that no one can agree on a descriptive name for this. Is it a HEX (six motors)… Is it a Tri-copter (3 arms)… No one agrees. I call it a QUAD because it is the same as everything in life where you say a name and everyone knows what you are talking about, kinda like BANDAID, ZEROX, etc.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Those examples are brand names being genericized. It's not really the same. Mislabeling something is just that.
I was involved in this hobby as a manufacturer in the early 2000's and there wasn't any confusion then. If there is now, you have an opportunity to help people understand the differences in these models.
I know, a lot of people just call every quadcopter a "drone" even though they don't know the definition of a drone. I've even heard people call large quads that you can fly in "manned drones" which is, of course, an oxymoron.
It looks like you care about accuracy in your videos and this is an area where you can make a difference. I enjoy your videos and wish you continued success with your channel.
Wikipedia: ...in which the names tricopter, quadcopter, hexacopter and octocopter are frequently used to refer to 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-rotor rotorcraft... So stop arguing, it is a hexacopter.
Not really…. A hex refers to 6 arms/6 motors. Tri-copter refers to 3 arms/3 motors. I don’t believe Wiki is gonna name this one.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 dude, the number stays for rotors. Wiki and rekonfpv already named it: Y6 - hexacopter in Y configuration. I have expected more from a "captaindrone" ...
@ Love these comments…. Keep them coming!
It seems very fast drone. I would like to have walksnail version.
We know why there was a shortage Steve. Ukrainian drone pilots love them. 😎
I would assume it's more cause you need a 6 motor esc those are definitely not as common
Yo can this come to cambodia
I don't think those battery checkers that give percentages are very accurate. You need to have a working and accurate mAh counter on your aircraft to get good results or else use the mAh counter on your charger to measure the amount of mAh put back in after the flight.
Thanks for the comment. I will say that once you are in the RC hobby for 15 years, these cheap little battery voltage testers make perfect sense. I use them all the time with a ridiculous number of brands of batteries and they provide sufficient info to extrapolate the results.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You could easily test how reliable one of yours is by flying a full battery down to about 50% remaining (as far as the tester was concerned) and then charging the battery back to full and seeing what the mAh back in are reported as by the charger. This would give you an idea how reliable your method is. I'd do the test a few times to check for consistency. I am guessing you'll find it's not that accurate but I could be proven wrong.
It should be mentioned that the original design is the Freylon Y copter and HGLRC stole his design from the designer. They are saying that it is different because their quad has a T-Shape instead of the original Y-Shape. Still this is copyright infringement!
Quad : 4x
Hex : 6x
end of line
In caveman thinking terms that is certainly correct. I’m not calling you a caveman but just pointing out your logic is in the realm of simplicity. But if you think about arms that are only 3, then the caveman thinking needs to evolve
It not a quad if it doesn’t have four arms. Not quite as catchy but I’d say a tri-copter.
You can spend hours trying to figure out a cool name for it. A hex has six arms, a quad has 4 arms, a drone can be anything (plane, helicopter, drone), a tricopter has 3 arms… getting close, yet it has six motors. Someone will come up with a cool name for these that will stick.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798no, hex, quad, octo is not the amount of arms...
@@YourdailydoseofShorts-un5vi we’ll have to agree to disagree as quad literally mean four, as tri means three.
@@Simulacra001 right and the number stands for amount of rotors. Why nobody is checking out the definition of multicopter in wikipedia instead of arguing...
@ Just so you are aware, agreeing to disagree isn’t arguing lol
How much $
Ya gotta click on the link
I apologize for asking an easily politicized question. When I saw the thumbnail of the aircraft it reminded me of a mini documentary about the conflict in Ukraine.
Is this one of the y-configured drones that has been weaponized by the Ukrainian military and that’s why there was such a shortage?
I have no idea, however, if you keep reading the comments, some have blamed the shortage of parts on such a conflict.
Was waiting for flywoo to make a hex 5 or 6
Quad is 4???
Yes QUAD means 4, TRI means 3 and HEX means 6. When you are talking about a drone, the words Drone & Quad are often used to mean the same thing, but if you wish to be descriptive, then Quad means 4, TRI means 3 and HEX means 6, and none of those terms would apply to the Y6 when trying to be specific.
That looks like a totally wild hexacopter! I wonder if the componant that was out of stock was one that Ukraine is using to built their quads, which they produce in the tens of thousands each month. I can see that happen if they had finalized a design, then bought up all the of the supply for that component to ensure their production, since, after all, their UAV building is a matter of life and death, not recreation.
Your guess is as good as the next persons as to why there was a long shortage of components.
Please stop calling it a "quad."
@@Landrew0 Give him a break.
Haha....I guess that didn't apply I didn't even notice
And, what would you call it…. Now be careful… think about it, because whatever you say, few will agree.
How about “little flying guy”?
@@ericstanford5419Now that sounds like something I could hear myself calling it 😊
7:51 "analog versio"!
