My first build, need a little advice!

[utkev]

Do I have everything for my first build?

---

I've been doing lots of research and have put together a list of parts to get. I would love some feedback. Also please let me know if i'm missing anything. I have a $200 gift card to Amazon so I was trying to find some of the stuff there. I'm been flying a Syma X1 but have never had experience with anything bigger. I'm not scared of the difficulty of setting up a Multiwii board. This is what I've come up with so far, am I missing anything?

Also trying to decide between 1045 or 1147 props.


After I get things set up and practice with it I will add a gopro gimbal and GPS

Opinions and suggestions would be appreciated!

Get the 30A Afro's.

Get better motors, 2212 SunnySky or T-Motors that will run on 4S, get some Graupner E-Prop 9x5's.

Go straight to 4S packs, some 3000mH to start with, 20-25C is plenty.

You will need a power supply for your charger, might be good to get a AC/DC charger to start with, will save you some cash.

Doubtful that prop balancer will be very good, just get a Dubro balancer, it will be the only one you will ever need to buy.

Grab a KK2.1 FCU, easy to set up and get you going.

Cheers

Thanks Pete, I have a few questions. My end goal is to get stable flight for gopro video, would the 9x5's work for that or should I go with bigger props?

Everything I've been reading has only talked about using 3s batteries so I will do a little more research on the 4s, the motors I linked from Amazon are 2213 935kv I believe they would work with a 4s? I'm trying to use my Amazon gift card and have read good things about those motors.

Is this the Balancer you suggested? http://www.amazon.com/Du-Bro-499-Tr...&qid=1387836716&sr=8-2&keywords=prop+balancer

I have a power supply for the charger so I'm good there.

Those motors are designed for the DJI flanged props, some props will not work without reaming the hub to fit so careful what you get, probably some DJI 10x38 would suit them but remember cheap motors have cheap bearings, cheap bearings will give you bad vibes. Also not knowing their watt rating is less than ideal.

Yep that is the balancer.

Cool on the power supply.

Cheers
