First Build and Starting with Frame Kit

[genesc]

First I need to know what would be the best frame kit for a beginner quad pilot.

I also would need to know motor size and battery pack needed for 15 to 20 min flights. No camera..

I am reading allot on the forum but see allot of members setting up for camera's.

Thank
Gene

Thank you for the info. I decided to go with the SK 450 board.

For a first build I suggest a basic 450 size with a built in power distro board like this one. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=49725

Grab some SunnySky 2212 980kv motors, a couple of 4S 3000mH 30C battery packs and a KK2.1.5 FCU.

Easy cheap and will fly well.

I was trying to follow Bartman's group build but without the Naza system. I am trying to follow your suggestions with the motors, props, KK 2.1.5. I also am wanting to use the SK 450 and added the sodering plate which was available to replace the standar plate. It seems to be about 30 grams heavier but like I said, I don't need speed and acrobatics but stable flight for leaning. If you think I should get the basic board let me know.

I am also a bit confused at Bart's Group Build with regards to the Nazda system. That part of the build to me seems to be the most difficult when it comes to programming. In the field how can you fine tune your Quad without a computer? With the KK2, you have a screen and can manually change setting on the spot.

I also am not sure about the power distribution board. Dont know if I need one with which ever frame kit I am using.

Sure could use some more of your expertise Pete..

Thanks
Gene
