1. Introduction
Alware's Streak 800 Hexacopter is the next generation aircraft for professional aerial filming with
big Cameras, long flying time FP , 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 S-
550 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 K 400 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.
