1. Introduction

Alware's Streak 800 Hexacopter is the next generation aircraft for professional aerial filming with big Cameras, long flying time FPV, search and rescue activities in the air with minimum budget.

Quick Collapsible Design: Unlike other huge multicopters, Streak 800 has an extremely convenient collapsible structure design. Four arms can be folded together within 1 min without using any tools. This greatly reduce the effort used in transportation.

User Friendly Design-Capable With Many Gimbals: Besides, Streak 800 has a user friendly design. It comes with an high strength, large clearance landing gear which is made of carbon fiber booms and CNC metal mounts. It is capable with many other common Gimbals in the current market without any modification. Capable Gimbals including Alware Pro 3 Camera Mount Series, GAUI CRANE 3 and CRANE 2 Gimbals, STO S-903(3-axis) Gimbal, STO Camera Mount Kit S550 etc. Now you can choose any Gimbal as you like without limitation.

Innovatice Motor Mount: With innovative design of the motor mounts, speed controller could be put next to the motor and far away from the main controller and receiver. This minimizes the interference to the radio signal to give safer and more stable flying. At the same time, putting speed controllers near the motors thus the props, it provides better cooling effect to the controllers. This highly increase the efficiency for flying. Moreover, this benifit design give you the maximum freedom to use any brands of ESC (for 6S Lipo, 40A or above) you like. (Recommended ESC: HobbyWing FlyFun-40A ESC.)

Large Current Power/ESC Board: Streak 800 comes with a large current distribution board. The whole board as a conductor, it support up to 100A input which is a lot more enough for Steak 800. It distributes a power imput to six speed controllers within the board in a clear way. This does not produce magnetic thus less influence to sensors.

High Efficient APC Propellers: Streak 800 comes with 3 pairs of Genuine APC Composite 14x4.7 Propellers. APC Propellers are the most carefully and accurately molded in the USA. The blade shapes are rated as the most efficient and silent manufactured in the aircraft models.

High Performance Brushless Motors: Motor is the heart of a machine. Alware Brushless Motor 3515-15 KV400 is designed mainly for heavy Multicopters. It has high performance, high efficiency, less vibration and smooth turning. Every motor will be accomplished by an professional dynamic balance process to keep the quality in high standard.

Easy Assembly Steps:

Every Streak 800 Kit will be installed(90% complete) by well-trained technicians and checked carefully before shipping. You will need only to put the electronic controllers to the body when you got the Kit. Clear instruction manual could be downloaded easily online.

2. Safety Notes

Do fly only in safe areas and always away from other people! Do not operate RC aircraft within the vicinity of homes or crowds of people. RC machine are prone to accidents, failures, and crashes due to a variety of reasons including pilot error, radio interference, and lack of maintenance. Pilot are responsible for their actions and damage or injury occuring during the operation of RC aircraft machine.

When flying the aicraft, the fast rotating props of Streak 800 may cause serious injuries with any accident occurred. Therefore please keep in mind that safety at first during the flight.

The ONLY Flying direction suitable for Streak 800:

Make sure you have installed your own Hexacopter Controller and the Props in the correct direction according to the factory's manual of the Controller.
