Two inches. Zero regrets. 🚁 My Mobula 8 whoop is great — quiet, tiny, disappears the second it's airborne — except it falls apart in any real wind. So I built a coaxial Y6 version to see if six motors in the same footprint could actually fix that, and what it costs to get there. This is a full build video: custom CAD frame, CFD-driven motor layout, real flight test numbers, and more. Spoiler: it flies great, it's louder than I'd like, and I'm not sure it's a better everyday whoop — but it's one of the most interesting things I've built. We will go deep on the flights, the arming issue that nearly killed the project, and the aerodynamics behind why the bottom prop is doing more work than the top one. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Intro 00:35 – Summary 01:00 – The great Mobula 8 01:36 – Why Y6, why coaxial 04:21 – CFD 06:46 – PCBway 07:28 – CAD design 09:23 – Build 13:09 – First flights 15:04 – Unleashed 18:00 – Verdict 📥 FREE FRAME DESIGN Full frame files, free to download and print (commercial use needs my approval): https://www.printables.com/model/1835... or https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadge... 🔧 PARTS USED Motors: T-Hobby 1103 8000KV provided by MEPSKING (6% code: XIASWORLD) https://www.mepsking.shop/thobby-m110...
