Hey Vineet, If you have some problems with the bolts and nuts, I can send you some 4mm non-ss.  Do you want some?  and thanks for that link.  let me see what I can get from there.

@dreamfly
Sir it's Flying Model Simulator. Here is the link
http://modelsimulator.com/
It has quadcopter and Y-6 models available.
@Vineet
Is there any time restriction in RF6 demo version?

@ Dharmik: no, there's no time limit, but I'm unable to connect my tx.
Thanks for the link, I'll try fms. :)
@ dreamfly: Thanks a lot for the offer :salute: but it's pretty uneasy to trouble you for nuts and bolts... I'll try a little more and will ask you if I can't get any. Thanks.

Hemanth Bhai,  I have a dji Naza but.........  Still fly the Openpilot.  I dont know why.  There is a lot of fine tweaking you can do on the openpilot and I guess that's something I really want to play with. I fly the Naza occassionally. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.  No doubt the naza is a fine controller and almost absolutely no tweaking necessary,  But you ask a Computer nerd if he would rather use "Windows" and not linux,,,, and you wont like what he might say to you.  But for a newbie I must say it's a very nice controller with nothing really to tweak and can get up to speed in no time but ofcourse at the higher price tag.   This is my personal view ofcourse. 
 
Dharmik Bhai,  Thanks for thet link I'll downlaod and check it out

Vineeth Bhai,  No problems  "Ask anytime"

Great links Dharmik bro. It's on download now. :)

Wow Dharmik Bhai,  That's  a nice link of Mikrokopter.  Will go thru in my spare time. Thanks once again.

@ Hemanth bhai,  What's Stream Error?  So far I have not encountered any errors but may be this is something I should be aware of.

Dharmik

Thank you friends,
I tried real flight 6 sim. They have disable tx support in demo version, only keyboard and it's really hard to control model using keyboard.

hyd_quads

Yeah, I thought that too. I've been playing (not using) it since 3 months on keyboard and now it's quite easy. But using a keyboard doesn't help much, the purpose of using a sim is not served - to get used to the sticks.

Hemanth bhai,  I have not understood this, Kindly elaborate.   What's a PWM isolator?  I definately would like to make my quad not die up in the air while flying.

Finally Caught up with Mr.Ashta over the weekend and I was pleasantly surprised at how much effort and time he spends at this hobby he loves.  A lot to learn from him.  He gave me a lot of tips and I even got to fly his baby  "his personally designed multiwii board". (Given the time he would have even built the motors and ESC's). I think it flies beautifully even with the board off balance on the frame which I later noticed and pointed it to him.  He himself is a very confident flier in a confined space and I can imagine what he would/could do with open spaces.  He is also not confied only to Quads but also builds and flies a whole array of fixed wing aircrafts.  I was so stunned at his collection that I had taken a camera and completely forgot to shoot some pics which I would have posted on this forum.   Thank you Mr.Ashta.  I salute you!  and hoping to meet you soon once again.

Thanks Roland for coming home.  and spending time. As you have not visited Hoskote, we will go one day together.
You can't be first because you do not know!

I am new to quads. Can someone please throw some light of propellers needed.
What kind of props are needed for a quad to work?
What is RH rotation? Is it the same CCW?

Thanks

Well you need both CW and CCW rotating props. RH (Right Hand) rotation means CW rotation props
