How do you guys plan out your motor choices? Too much you lose flight time, not enough and running 80% to hover. But you don tknow the total weight until the build is done... I will be running a standard quad, something like an f450 or possibly discovery style. FPV in the future and the...

ardu flyer, uses the same programming? I really am trying to utilize "follow me" modes. Which is why i have been drawn to the pixhawk and apm's. RC timer and pixhawk, ADM all use the same programing? I guess being opensource that doesnt surprise me. Just obviously different firmwares. This is...

Who has the best prices on these? Looks like if I go 3dr ill be spending over 300

Thinking of going with APM 2.6 or pixhawk for my multi rotor build. How can I tell if the system is a china knockoff clone, and I get the real deal?

I was amost sold on the APM until I read this... I would like to run a "follow me" mode; it does not appear that the pixhawk can perform this?

Can someone please tell me who supports the best, and or what I need for a "follow me" mode?

Doing some reading I am now in love with the APM 2.6! Circle mode is awesome! How does follow me work? I need to know more about APM 2.6

I am getting pretty hooked on the Taranis. Though the prices are always going up. I Was able to find some at 200, now 250... I am sure it will suit me well. But so would a dx6i I think. Range is the winner for the taranis it looks like.

Way points, and autonomous flight are important. Hovering is a big need as well. Obviously good stability. Other features are bonus. I was looking at the Naza V2, mostly due to its popularity. What are you guys flying with, and why? GOod reads about what the different controllers and GPS's...

NVM.... I see taranis only makes the one radio, the XD9...

INteresting.. THey are running about 200+ ish dollars. What are the big differences between the 8 and 9 taranis?

At first I was thinking of running the hobby king special turnigy 9x... HOwever after looking at a few options and what I need I am thinking maybe the spektrum dx series. I will most likely be flying a dji f45 for video, nothing serious, just hovering shots and when Im out with my buddies...

So stay away from the 9x... I figured at 60 USD the price was too good to be true. Any recommended radios? Iwill keep and eye out for a good priced V2 setup, and order my 450. Thanks for the input pete.

I have decided to build a quad to perform go-pro pictures and video on a gimbal. I would like to do FPV in the future as well. I want something that is fun to fly, and be used for pre programed flights, and pictures and video. I have about 40 acres I would like to fly around and take pictures...
