Just how BIG is the Hex on the bench?

While I knew it was big, I only realised just HOW BIG it is when I put my DJI Mini 3 on top!

This has the following kit on board:

FC = HGLRC SPECTER F722 40A Hexacopter AIO Flight Controller (I realise it may not be big enough! But it does have 6 x 40A ESC with 50A burst)
Motors = 6 x 3115/900
10" Props, (may be bigger, it will take up to 12" props)

Also to be added, Lidar, GPS Camera & VTX unit, maybe more gadgets…

I’m going to run this for testing on 2-4S, but will eventually run 6S, any comments and suggestions welcome, but be gentle with me!

UPDATE - Having tested a 10" with the same motors I realise 2 or 4S just will not have enough grunt to get this thing off the ground! I will give 4S a try as I’ll be using 12" props and I’m interested to see how it does. But 6S is the way to go without a doubt!

A pleasure - I probably just spend too much time online!

I just have to get it flying now! Or it’s just a shelf ornament!

I think it’s going to sound amazing!
