I like the taranis radio, though a spektrum dx9 is maybe easier to use. As for frames, i cant recommend catalystmachineworks.com enough. Excellent high quality machines, and superb service and support. They provide full build videos and instructions, plus they have a full shop of good quality...

I would be interested in that. I built my first drone in april, last year. I picked up fpv flight easily, as I have been piloting rc craft for around a decade. My biggest challenge has always been orientation, especially when flying 3D helicopters. Well, fpv solves this by essentially putting...

Yeah go with 250, however I love my 210r. Buy a zmr 250, super cheap easy to repair. Then when you are ready for a clean tight build, get a 210 or 180 racer, that way you will have enough time to fly better and learn enough about motor-esc combos, flight controllers, and the rest, to build a...

Lol, well I knew if I complained it would happen just to make me look bad, the tx is in! I will be attempting the maiden this weekend, we'll see how it goes. Now I'm gonna get butterflies and jitters. I always get nervous when I fly a new bird.

And yet another day goes by with no tx. I'm beginning to lose faith. I bought it from the last, and they had already ordered them the day before I came in and bought it. So here we are 16 days in. I should have just bought online, had it 10 days ago tops. Not our store's fault but it is aggravating.

Looks good don't forget to swap one motor wire on 2 of the esc. If looking down onto the craft, the right front motor and left rear should be reversed. I believe left front is motor #1, left rear #2, right rear #3 right front #4. So normal rotation is clockwise/cw. Swap any of the 3 motor to...

I like the Taran is x9d from frsky

That is a hard price to beat, even building it yourself. I built a speed addict and it cost me around 6 hundos. Of course I am using all the best goodies!

Awesome, sounds like good progress. I am looking forward to some pics!

Lord knows I've done that more than a few times! Lol

You may try catalyst machine works speed addict 180r. I have the 210r, it's a tight build though, so maybe not best for your first build, as you are limited on space and need to have tight wiring and soldering them to the board. Then again mine was my first (210r and 180r are exactly the same...

Whoa and look at that price!!

Check out liquid tape. Or more specifically, liquid electrical tape. Apparently you can spray it, dip it, or brush it on. You will want the brush on. It's awesomeness, promise!

I would get the pdb. Don't need anymore setbacks.

Lol I know how you feel. I'm waiting for my radio tx to come in. It takes soooo long! Rrrrr. Anyway the guys at the club are always bragging about what they did with their drones. What a bunch of richards. You should check out the vortex, 250 size already built and ready to go.
