• Corner-to-corner dimensions: 550 mm; payload capacity: up to 2.5 kg
• Motor mounts for standard brushless motors with a 22 mm diameter
• Components made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic with aluminum struts
• Arms fully foldable for transport and storage
• Compatible with common flight controllers and ESC systems in the RC sector

Product Description

The hexacopter landing gear provides the structure for a six-motor multicopter with a rotor-to-rotor distance of 550 mm. The design, featuring a plastic frame and aluminum struts, combines stability with minimal weight and ease of repair; individual arms can be replaced without special tools. This eliminates lengthy repair times following damage during operation.

The foldable arms allow for compact storage and transport without increasing the flight weight. Two permanently mounted landing skids increase ground clearance and protect the frame during landing. The motor mounts are designed for standard 22-mm brushless motors, which are commonly used in RC model building.

With a maximum payload of 2.5 kg, camera modules, additional sensors, or an extended power supply can be integrated. The electronics must be purchased separately: a flight controller for attitude stabilization, six motor controllers for motor control, and a power supply using lithium-polymer batteries. The takeoff weight varies depending on the choice of motors and payload.

Applications include aerial photography with lightweight cameras, surveying areas, or inspecting structures at heights of up to approximately 100 meters. The frame is also suitable as a learning platform for drone basics and for testing control algorithms, since assembly requires a basic understanding of electromechanics and allows for testing different motor combinations and controllers.

The construction requires experience with RC models or training in handling rotating rotors. Before the first flight, the motors, controllers, and sensors must be fully calibrated. Replacement parts for the assembly can be obtained from specialty retailers.

Safety Notice

This flight frame is intended exclusively for the construction, testing, and development of multicopter systems, not for regular air traffic. Rotating rotors and propellers pose a risk of injury; operation requires appropriate protective equipment and sufficient open space. All electrical connections and the torque values at the motor mounts must be checked by a qualified professional.
