I too am new to all of this, I looked at the x650v8 and was planning on running it like a v4 at first and grabbing a crash kit of extra arms. But with this being my first time at this, I went with a dji naza f450 and a few extra things for crash repair. I also purchased a DX6i Tx unit and a couple of different size batts along with a middle of the road lipo charger. All told so far I'm in just under a grand, I just couldn't get the numbers to work for my budget with the 650. I'm looking at this unit strictly for training and learning, when all my crash supplies are used up, I'll then decide if it's still worth pursuing. It's waaay to easy to get caught up in all the gizmos and doodads that are available for these widgets and totally destroy any semblance of a budget you had in your mind or gulp, with your wife. All the hot items guys are using today will be cheaper next year or next 6 months for that matter. Before I strap a camera on my rig and give some prosecutor evidence of what happened, I'll beat the crap out of my flamewheel learning to fly'n'fix and try and avoid the situation. Best of luck!
