The Hobbyking Y4 Scorpion Micro multi-rotor frame is a high quality glass fiber frame that offers both great looks and performance. Built from light weight yet extremely rigid glass fiber and carbon, the Y4 offers a great combination of weight savings and strength.
The Y4 Scorpion styling makes it look more like a deadly creature than a multi-rotor frame, while still offering excellent functionality and performance! The Scorpion is also supplied with 4 x 2900kv Brushless Outrunner Motors that are perfectly matched to this frame, helping take the guesswork out of the power train.
This multi-rotor frame is designed for use in the "Y-4" configuration utilizing 4 motors (2 mounted at the front, 1 on either arm and 2 mounted at the rear for yaw and lift control), we also offer a full line of multi-rotor electronics such as control board, ESC, batts and more, so it has never been easier or more affordable to get a multi-rotor in the air!

Hi,
I tried this kit with the kk2.0 board Version 1.5 in Y4 Setup. (with TURNIGY Plush 6A /.8bec/6g Speed Controllers, which I calibrated of course). Unfortunately it flies very unstable even after several hours of trying different values for p and i - gain and maximum. Has anybody had success with the kk2.0 board and can tell me good values for p and i - gain and maximum?
try to leave the default values**, balancing the propellers and minimize vibration in the structure and board here at HobbyKing sells some ant-vibration materials or try mechanisms with elastic.
It would be very hard because since a tricopter only has 3 motors, one has to lean back and forth controlled by a motor. YOu would have to make a servo controlled tilt mechanism for the rear motor.

Can someone give me the best recommended parts to make this fly as well as keeping it at a low price?
( I don't know anything about rc multi-rotor so keep things easy of me to understand)
Thanks*)
I used the following setup:
TURNIGY Plush 6A /.8bec/6g Speed Controller x4
Turnigy nano-tech 1000mah 2S 25~50C Lipo Pack
5030 Propellers (Red) - 3xCW and 3xCCW - 6pcs per bag
HobbyKing Multi-Rotor Control Board V3.0 (Atmega328 PA)
Prop saver for C-10 motor x4
10CM Male to Male Servo Lead (JR) 26AWG (10pcs/set)
Male XT60 connectors (5pcs/bag) GENUINE. (soldered all esc's to one xt60)
You will also need USBasp AVR Programming Device for ATMEL proccessors if you decide to use this setup cause the board needs to be flashed for Y-4.
Ya don't need the ccw props. All the same on a Y4 setup. Plus some control boards come already setup for Y4 as well as many others w/o flashing, although it is usually best to have the latest firmware in your controller just sayin it's not absolutely necessary. And some like the new KK have a mini onboard lcd with little buttons so you can program it right in the field without a comp, AVR, nothing. Just sayin....
this dose not look like a scorpion. im sossy if i offend anyone but this thing looks like a little bug that you would squash if it accidently came under your foot. not like a deadly creature.
yea. i guess its just the fact that the actual body of the scorpion is so thin. but dont get me wrong i like the thing and im proberly going to order 1.
I notice the i86 control board has the option of tricopter but I'm unsure if it is able to be used in a Y4 configuration. Is this possible or will i need to use my kk board and flash it with new firmware?
HI Chris, if you refeering to the new KK-2 FC from here, The Mixer Editor allows you to adjust where and how much signal the motors receive from stick input and sensors. This allows you to create any configuration possible with up to 8 motors or servos. That means you can either choose like a Y6 and just mix out the 2 bottom front motors and give a little more Input to the front upper MOotrs or do an entirely new MIX youself. If you like this INfo please let me get rewarded... thank you if you do...... need new LiPos lol
I've got the full size Scorpion and it's AWESOME. I'm purchasing this one to practice in the house with. Also in the mail is the new LCD FC board. I'm planning to switch out the current Atmega V3.0 (part #9171000011) currently running in the big Scorpion for the new KK2.0 (#9171000073) LCD board and putting the V3.0 into this little gem. I've checked and there IS Y4 firmware available through the flash utility. Also thinking of getting 2 more motors and putting them on the underside of the "claws". Then I can use the existing firmware for the Y6 config.

Flight review! First off, no CG indicated in the skimpy plans! I used a ballpark from the position of the big brother (Y650 Scorpion).
It flies fairly nicely. Because of its size and weight, handles hard landings (crashes ;-) very nicely - nothing broken. Also due to its weight, it's VERY responsive. by the time you desensitize the gyros to where they're not oscillating you don't really have a "hands off" hover and always have to keep the corrections up.
If there's anything negative - and this will take more testing to try to work out what's happening - it's that the rudder seems almost ineffective. Just doesn't want to yaw. I did notice that one of the 2 motors on the back stops sooner than the other 3, it's possible it's not spinning as fast - not enough torque to yaw the little thing.
By the way, I'm using the Atmega 328 PA V3 board. Kind of large but was left over after I replaced the board on the 650 Scorpion (with the LCD one). If you use this board, don't flash the most current version of firmware, use the next one down (4.5 I think). The most current one doesn't work.
