I'm custom building a Hexacopter, do I need this as a 3s or do I need a 6s instead?

What do you intend to use your copter for? Photos/Videos? Across flying? Why ESC's, motors and propellers do you intend to use? How much flight time are you trying to achieve?

Depends, on how much, your controller, or motor can handle. 3s is a 11 volt battery, a 6s is double voltage, or 22 volts.... find out how many volts your computer, controller or motor can handle or take.

Any, but make sure it is made for aerial craft, and can support quads. I suggest the Turnigy 9x. Good luck!

It is a quadcopter. Although small and a bit twitchy, it is a good way to learn how to fly. If you can fly this you can fly one of the bigger ones. Control from an iPhone/iPad is not ideal, but with practive it can be done. Just make sure you get some extra props as this is the most vulnerable part of this little quad.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

You will have to do the soldering. You don't have to get the programming card, but it is WELL worth it, and I HIGHLY recommend it, or you may find yourself rather frustrated when trying to change even a small variable. Additionally, this ESC needs really good lipo batteries. If running 4s, I recommend at least 5000mah each at 35c or greater discharge, I believe I run 60c. Caps might help with inadequate batteries. It demands a lot of juice, but really puts out the power. I can't see how anyone could make use of all the power it puts out even with just 4s. It is a handful and awesome.

I do believe a coaxial heli would be a great choice to start with , it's a 4 blade configuration with gyros to keep it extremely stable and much easier to control, just make sure it's an outdoor version .. Hope this helps

Yes, that is what I use and it works very well. Instructions for programming your 6i for the 350QX are included in the manual that comes with the copter.

More speed! But seriously it just gives you more options. 3s when you want more speed and 2s the rest of the time. Not sure but the 3s might make more torque too...

You need quite a bit of space. The heli is really quick and unless you're an experienced pilot I would not recommend this indoors

This is a big jump from an S107. Look at an inexpensive 4-channel fixed-pitch micro heli like a v911 first - cheaper, easier to fly, but still nimble and will get you used to the basics of four channel control. Once you can make the v911 go where you want, then the complexity, cost, challenge, and capability of a collective pitch helicopter like this might be more approachable.

4 or 6 with a spare.. i fly v911 and recently seek more fun with the v913. I practice first on a simulator using volantex. I will in the near future definetly go 3D heli with the help and confidence i master on the Volantex.

It depends. If you're on the stock ESC and motor, I wouldn't go with a 3s lipo.

probably so....although it is a 4 channel copter, with single propeller..it is a little more difficult to fly than 3 channel copters...if they have no experience in flying, then you MIGHT want to go with a 3 channel, until more experience is gained in flying.

you need an adapter but yes. I bought a 4S to 6 iphone converter on Amazon for $2.50 and have had no issues for the last 3 months

I can only speak to a 4 because that's what my son has and it works with that. I also would assume a 4s would work.

From the Castle chart a 2400 KV motor should be able to handle up to a 4S battery, so 3s should be good. I have had no problems with the 3S. http://www.castlecreations.com/support/documents/10th-Scale-Gearing-Chart-095-0130-01L.pdf

Yes! I have the whole set up...Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal, Part 9 hub, iOSD and video transmitter. All the parts plug directly into the hub, including the drone's internal cable that you would normally plug into the gimbal. The iOSD plugs directly into the CAM-HUB as well as being connected to the hub. It's all really dummy-free and couldn't be easier to set up! You will enjoy it greatly! I will offer this heads-up though....yesterday DJI had a live announcement video set up on YouTube. I missed it but I am almost certain it had something to do with the new generation. Depending on whether or not you have already purchased all this equipment you might want to wait for the Phantom 3! If you need anymore advice or want me to send you pictures of how I have all this put together feel free to ask. I'd love to help.
