1) H.A.L hexacopter frame 775mm




2) Platypus x800  Carbon fiber 800mm



3) Tarot 680 aluminium!  680mm



I need to fit the 2814 700kv motors.
Some people say HAL and some with x800

Hey rahul i vote for H.A.L it is quite sturdy and for cheap tarot is quite expensive. Unless you will do Photography with a high end DSLR cam i think the tarot would be useless. A cheap DSLR is what i think i would mount on the H.A.L

Plus you have a 28-14 so according to specs it should fit, if the H.A.L crashes(god forbid) you can buy another one inside the price of the tarot. ;D ;)

Well. tarot is for 115$ incl shipping.
HAL costs 95$ incl shipping. so not a big diff. :)

Woah really? i saw a site where it sold tarot for 169.99$

Then you should go for tarot, but is tarot alu or cf?

aluminium. CF is too expensive.
x800 is carbon fiber and affordable 145$

If CF then go for tarot, but the cf looks like stickers and tarot is written in aluminium colour on it so i suspect  if its cf. They have just laser etched their name on the inner aluminium.(It does look like that)

Bro, there are two versions- alu and cf, I have put the alu version in the poll and not the cf.
but cf looks cooler

In the end it comes to: if the better one is in my budget why should i buy the cheaper frame. ;) ;)
If you have money to spend on the x800 then thats the best otherwise go with tarot which looks quite sturdy and good. ;D ;D ;D
Scrapped your homemade hexacopter plan? and buying a new better looking frame for it?

Rahul I will tell you the landing gear of x800 is a crap.. don't go for that...
Or you may need to replace the landing gear

Its a flexible kind of plastic and will bounce while landing.. I have the similar landing gear and struggled a lot.. I just altered it now by giving two cross support with cf tube of 10mm

i have seen the hk HAL personally, and its a solid frame.
CF feels fragile to me personally.

Rahulvyas

@arun sir, thats what I am looking for, any replacement landing gear?
I know HAL's good. but if I can afford CF, why not CF?

can I see your landing gear which you modified please?

@adityaamg- Exactly. Its a well built frame. but its aluminium. CF is much better and most of the high end frames use CF as the material.


Should I go with taylon if not these?

H800 is costly but ya its well built :)

HAL is heavy? isnt it? Also its not foldable
and tarot is aluminium? and its small?

Is there any way to change the landing gear of x800?

Hey rahul you just made your own fricking Hex man ;D, when the frame arrives analyse the problem in the landing gear and work around that and make a solution. That way you add your own personal touch to the frame ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) ;)
