This will be my first real build log, starting a little late in the process but I'm taking my time on this one instead of my usually cram together rushed style of building multi-rotors.
Also this is my first trials with the ArduPilot platform. It will kind of be my guinea pig for a bigger build I have planned later on.
Starting out with an eBay 450 alien kit (discovery clone that uses DJI arms)
4x Scorpion 2212-1070kv motors
4x 30a 3-6s capable SimonK ESC's
(I know these are oversized but more on that later)
Tall mid crab skid set (so I could have mounting rails)
APM 2.6 side-pin
GPS w/ mag
915mhz telemetry radio set
MinimOSD
Cheap 5.8Ghz video rx tx set
Security cam repurposed
5v and 12v bec's
Power distribution board with built in current sense for apm
Misc hardware
Using my trusty JR X9303 radio
JR 921x receiver only using one sat atm since I have only one that is DSMX, my DSM2 sats won't bind.
Here is where I'm at in the build

The reason the ESC's are oversized is later on I want to switch to the 800 arms go 6s and use these Scorpion M4010-360kv motors I have
