    first time building quadcopter. Heres my parts list any advice greatly appreciated.

    The 600mw transmitter works great.... I like your parts list and as Crazyhorse said, get some sim practice and don't bother with the FPV stuff at first. Learn to fly line of sight first and then you can mount the FPV equipment and learn how to fly from that perspective later You want to be able...

    New Drone

    I'm always leery of startups... Plus it's not even available until April 2015 and that is probably a guesstimate on someones part. I would by something proven I think and let someone else work out the bugs... :)

    Just an FYI, I have written an email to an advocacy group named AHS ( https://vtol.org/ ) who is putting a symposium on at the University of Maryland next week. Some of the agenda concerned sUAS and some of it is the larger future delivery UAS. Since I saw some of the agenda was in regards to...

    Just needs someone to spearhead it and a band of brothers (and sisters!) to push things along! I know I am a hobbyist and not a professional but didn't we all start as hobbyists? So in essence, we're just future pros... :) So how to organize?

    Actually you can't update the firmware on a NAZA M Lite. There is only one level of firmware. If you used a firmware update for a different controller it has most likely bricked the NAZA M Lite. I don't know of a way out of that.... I would also suggest using at a minimum a 7 channel transmitter...
