Because of the shape of the new hexa style copter. I gave it the name of an insect – The Tick.(EDIT – Comment from Ronny: ticks have 8 legs not 6 =accepted but the name is branded right now)

First parts arrived already. The flight control was ordered from second hand and is a DJI Naza V2.

The next parts should arrive Monday.

Its one of the latest and the lightest gimbal to purchase at the moment – a xaircraft stella gimbal, which will be modified to fit the UAV. Plans are ongoing to make everything the most lightweight and versatile hexacopter the world has seen until today 😉 .

To start everything from scratch I decided to go for a complete new setup. My old and heavy used Turnigy 9x transmitter has already some defects from all the travelling around the world so I am hunting for a Taranis X9D+ remote. (See the cable ties to hold it together)

The time will tell me where the journey will end but I think I am on the right way to bring „The Tick“ to life.
