SCARAB YSiixkopta Airframe
The following is the recommended building tips for
assembling the airframe.
YSiixKopta
SCARAB is designed for
10 amp ESCs x 6 - preferrably running 4S
775kv Motors between 35g - 75g
Wires - 20AWG wires LiPo 150-220g
4S 9050Triples
VERSION 1.0.5
top engine red
bottom engine black

SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide
SCARAB is designed to sacrifice the frangible
booms in the event of a crash and save the
motors,electronics and the mainframe from
impact G forces. Thin rounded booms are very
streamlined to prop wash and gives longer flight
times of 12-15mins. We expect the removable
boom to be used in most cases - for travel and for
modular replacement reasons. good connections
are vital.
If a single connector fails or comes loose
- your YSiix may crash
BOOM LENGTH - Build light -> to fly - if necessary -
cut booms down to suit motors - small motors (29g)
- Medium (50-70g) = 260mm - heavy motors(75g+)
210mm ~ 230mm Balance props perfectly on a
magnetic balancer. then dynamic running them on a
hand rig. Mounting - use conter sunk screws on the
top motor direct to the Carbon mount . Mount the
LOWER motor to the X plate(that comes with your
motor) - use M3 bolts to secure the X. Do not pull on
the wires - any stress will damaged the motor internally.
For a Ysiix you may need to revese the shaft -
remove the grub screw from the bell. tap the shaft
out with a 3mm tap - then I use a wood vice - I
turn the vice slowly to feed the shaft to the correct
distance. wiring - decide if you want removable
booms/plugs. or if you want to solder the wires to the
ESC? Solder wires are be less suitable for Travel-AP
- so each pilot takes his own Risk. Top motors wire
ends red - bottom mor wire ends black - to identify it
each motor exit wire location is different
(above left) - counter sink two matching holes
in the engine mount by aligning the wires to the
shaft side of the key shape - Attach the motor - use
Loctite on the screws and also on the shaft lock screw.
Slide the carbon boom over the completed assembly
including the wires - be sure not to cut the wires on
the carbon shaft ! see next page for photos

  • Page 1 Slide the carbon boom over the completed assembly including the wires - be sure not to cut the wires on bottom engine black the carbon shaft ! see next page for photos Page 1 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 2 - carefully Apply one drop of thin cyno then apply the screw lightly. Very little force is required. Cyno can be softened with Acetone for removal Page 2 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 3 XT60 slide some 5mm heatshrink onto the multi’s before you solder the posts - note that the temporary heat shrink is then removed - before sliding the final 5mm down Page 3 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 4 - then the ESC and the 2mm female connectors perfectly and need to swapped out - use FLUX paste to ensure you have a good solder join - for the spares. At this point. Page 4 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 5 M1.5 hex - be sure to USE the 1.57mm L HEX provided in the kit - 1/16th “ inch use the 5mm standoffs for PARIS then the 15mm or 20mm for the top deck Page 5 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 6 1 screw to hold the booms temorarily. Each boom has six wires - put red heat shrink on 3 and black heat shink on three so you can identify each engine clearly. Page 6 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 7 You need either a sum Receiver or a SUM encoder to run six engines on a PARIS in 1.8 - Future versions of software will get around this problem by using the Gimbal PWM outputs Page 7 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 8 YAW position in hardware - not on the Tx. tilt the front nacels forward 3° - final trimming by flight test - hover - trim with TILT. Rear mount is neutral/level 3° 3° 3° Page 8 version 1.0.5.1 SCARAB YSiixKopta Airframe guide www.MultiCopterPilot.com...
  • Page 9 LiPo - 4S1800-2650 - we recommend a combo of Velcro and the strap - Use a Quannum Telemetry cell monitor to land when the first LiPo cell is 4.2->3.3v - total voltage is not as good - as one cell goes down first!!.
