Recommended Setup for Turnigy Talon V2 ?

Looks good generally - you're going to have a lot of fun.

Just one word of caution: I'm not sure I'd be running prop-savers on a big quadcopter. While it might prevent the odd prop breakage, there's a risk of in-air band failure, which would end in a nasty crash. In addition, they aren't as well balanced as a prop-adaptor so you may be introducing another source of vibration - the enemy of gyros on your control board. I'd be going for proper grub-screw-fixed prop adapter with a locknut head.

Don't forget to balance your props before use!

	I agree that prop savers should be avoided. When fixing the props to the motors I suggest that you mount the motor with cable ties so in those spectacular crashes (it WILL happen!) the motors break free aswell as the prop breaking. This has saved me many, many motors with my many, many, many spectacular crashes ;)

	I could be very wrong on this and I am doing my research on my own Quad. But the motor weigh looks to be too low. I have read that you want the motors to be between 60 to 70 grams. This motor is 39 grams.
