Thanks again, hopefully in a week and a half I can start posting some pics of a build going on!

Thanks again, I ordered the Frame, FC, ESC's, and distribution so far. That will give me something to do when I get home in 10 days. Then I will be ordering the rest. Question again about batteries, I did the eCalc for a 6000mAh 3S(will probably go 4S though). Would I be better off doing two...

I think I have everything Okay in eCalc:

Here is my updated list. For the motors, I chose the V series instead of X, from what I read it may be a little less powerful but more efficient and smooth, also someone want to double check me, but I should be able to get away with 20A ESC correct? Are the Afro's a good way to go, or should I...

Thanks Motopreserve, I started to play with eCalc a little, I'll have to mess with it more and look for a good weight goal then choose a battery. What about the KK2.1.5 flight control board, will this be good to learn with and get me off the ground?

Here is what I'm currently looking at for my first build, if you have any recommendations, or think something will not work, please let me know. Also, I have not picked a battery yet, any recommendations on this would be great. This is not meant to be an awesome quad, this is meant to keep...

Hello all. I am here, well, because I am new and I know at some point I will need advice from all the seasoned veterans who have already crashed and burned once or twice and now have valuable lessons for us all. I have some RC car and a little electronics(arduino, raspberry pi) experience. I...
