Could i politely ask that the front page of this thread be updated with the new options?

I am a new multirotor wannabe (fly planes and helis) and i really dont know where to start.

Almost everything that was listed in the first post has been discussed with a better option(s) throughout this thread.

At least 700gr per engine, so 2.8kg total with 9x4,7 props. You can try much larger like 10w5 and compare.
Roughly, you can fly with a payload of one kilo max to be in security.

Half of your total thrust is the max total weight you can fly with a certain calm, included the GoPro and its support and servos to move it.
You can fly with more payload, but less easily!

Why not go for the KK2 controller? It's easier to set up. If you upgrade the firmware to 1.5 you also get working self levelling and camera stabilisation. I would also get Turnigy Plush, instead of Turnigy Basic.

Hi Guys!

I'm probably one of the few girls looking into Quad flying.

I had some experience flying a airplane trainer 10 years ago but I am looking into a solution for aerial video and photography and Quads seems to be the best solution for it these days. I would like to build it myself so I know how the things fits together if I crash it (which I'll probably will a millions times) and are able to customize if needed in the future.

I was wondering if the setup below, after spending a few afternoons reading, would be a good learning-to-fly setup. Can you guys take a look and help me straghtening out any issues in the list below?


    Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack (DE Warehouse)
    Turnigy Battery Strap 330mm
    Individual HXT 3.5mm connector for motor/ESC (12pc)
    Hobby King Quadcopter Power Distribution Board
    Slow Fly Electric Prop 1045SF (4 pc)
    Slow Fly Electric Prop 1045R SF RH Rotation (4 pc)
    HobbyKing Multi-Rotor Control Board V2.1 (Atmega168PA)
    NTM Prop Drive 28 Series Accessory Pack
    TURNIGY BESC Programming Card
    TURNIGY Basic 25A v3.1 Speed Controller
    NTM Prop Drive Series 28-30A 750kv / 140w
    Hobbyking X666 Glass Fiber Quadcopter Frame 666mm


Thanks a bunch!

Eshe
