Rahulvyas

Haha, thanks bros :)
Dharmik sir, Actually I decreased the size to 700mm length. This was dont because I didn't want to add extra weight for no reason. I will also add gimbal.
Aniket, need kk2? I know a person who sells it.

Oh I got it, swivel is not required, as the hex could easily roll which would change the cams direction.
And also kk2 dosn't support 3 axis gimbal.

waow.... its a DHAKAN - copter.... xD why dont you make a badass looking cover out of depron or thermocol??? or paper....
.

Rahulvyas

just wait ;) I will paint it camouflage.
Actually This tiffin box is easier to fit and use compared to depron. This can be taken off at anytime.

heres an idea... use the rim of the Dhakkan, as a base to build a canopy on it.... so it will fit also, and people will piss their pants when they see it coming.... ;) ;D
.

Rahulvyas

thats what I am doing :P
Hey, what paint should I use?
and what color will look good camouflage or plain bright yellow?

and is that paint permanent?

here's an option... u can either invest in some good enamel paint, for a matte/lustrous finish, or use acrylic....
an alternative to enamel paint is nailpolish....! ;D but best of luck finding that in camo colors... xD

for digicamo, u  can use greyish green and grey, or greyish blue and blue....

here are the exact colors...

FOREST:-

#868781
#6a6c61
#aaa7a2

DESERT

#9d836a
#8b6e50
#c7bbaf

just load those colors into Photoshop or another image editor for exact tones.....

enjoy ;D
