First Quadcopter build:

Hello!
I'm interesting in building a quadcopter, but I'm quite a noob, this being my first ever miniquad,.
I have watched this 5 part series, on how to building a budget miniquad.


The Youtuber lists the parts that are needed as follows:

I have been researching all day for various things.

Most of the parts are the same, but I'll list them again.

Just browsing the Quadcopter forums, I found someone suggested this:

Seems to have really good reviews, relatively inexpensive, and I wouldn't have to buy the Skyzone TS5823.

This is the Charger I have picked: - If you have one that is a bit more expensive, link me. But I need to keep it to a budget.

What is an inexpensive RC transmitter that will work with this setup?
I don't want to spend $90+ on a 9ch RC transmitter.

Last question: What battery will I need for the Quanum complete FPV?


If anything is alight, I will order the parts.

Welcome to Minirider's


Drop in and say hello in our Introduce Yourself thread too while you are here.

It look's like it'll be an interesting build!

I can't say i have seen them built up part by part.
What's the con's of building one yourself ?
Better component's, or much cheaper ?


Cheer's, Craig
