I thought I would have more fun tinkering with the electronics portion of the project. I really enjoyed building the quadcopter, but getting the Taranis to interface with the DJI controller seems to be a total nightmare. It's possible that I should have started with something more plug and...

Still have everything, I'll try to post some pics tonight.

I'm frustrated and I think I want to be done. I have an assembled, with nothing broken DJI F450 ARF kit from helipal: http://www.helipal.com/dji-flamewheel-f450-combo-3-naza-lite-legs.html I also have a set of spare props, a pair of Turnigy Nanotech 4s, 2600 mA batteries and a few other little...

I feel like I may have gotten in over my head here, I can't even find basic instructions on how to set this up on my F450. Is there a comprehensive how-to around somewhere? I'm not used to buying things and having zero instructions included with any of it.

So how much would you pay for a used T8FG with a single Futaba RX included? The Taranis is available for $237 shipped with one RX, battery, strap & case.

My kit came last night and I started unpacking and generally looking things over. It doesn't look like it will take too incredibly long to put together, so it's time to order a radio/transmitter. I simply don't see myself paying $300+ for a big name setup. Is there anything between the...

Yep, I read the entire thing and now I'm plotting what to do for batteries/charging and receiver/transmitter. I ordered the kit from helipal because $350 shipped sounds a lot better than $600 shipped with hundreds of $ left to go before it's flying.

I'll go read up, but the kit with the V2 GPS is the full cost of the V2 above the cheap kit with the lite. I could buy it now or wait and see if I want it later.

After reading obsessively and lurking, I'm pretty sure I want to get started on a multirotor project. The flexibility of the F450 seems great, but after totaling up all the parts required it seems like I'm best off starting with this...
