First Quadcopter Build - QAV250

[spyder12]

So after seeing a bunch of sweet videos of 250 quads, my friend and I had to build one for ourselves to prove our nerdiness, as we are both in technical careers and enjoy dabbling in technology in general. I would say that I went with a middle of the road build budget-wise but I've caught the bug and cannot stop flying this thing. Flying LoS has been fine getting the hang of it, but I'm beginning to see why FPV is so popular and will be going to that very soon if anyone has any suggestions!

Below is a build list along with some pictures of the build along the way:

• Frame: MRM250 CF Frame Version 1 with MRM spacer kit
• Motors: DYS BE1806 2300KV Black Edition
• ESC: Rotorgeeks 12A BLHeli ESC V4
• Props: GemFan 5030 to start, now trying HQProp 5x4
• PDB: CC3D Flight Controller Mini PDB
• FC: CC3D with 90 degree bent pins rotated 90 degrees
• Tx/Rx: Turnigy 9x with stock receiver for now
• Battery: Zippy Compact 1300/1500 mAh 3S 25C
• Charger: SkyRC 6200 with modified computer power supply
