Years ago I used to fly RC helicopters and have been thinking of getting back into the hobby with multi rotor. Want to build from scratch and am just starting the research process. Any kit guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome JMP! You have come to a good site. My suggestion is to read as much as you can and I have included a few links to get you started. Browse the Beginners Lounge area.

• The Beginners Lounge is a good place to start: http://www.multirotorforums.com/forums/beginners-lounge.21/

My suggestion is to read as many posts as you can and learn how to search the forum.

• I started out with this build - it is a great introduction: http://www.multirotorforums.com/threads/group-build-2014-dji-naza-f450-quadcopter.13431/
• Also a key for us is: http://www.multirotorforums.com/threads/understanding-lithium-polymer-batteries.12072/
• Don't forget the secret codes - the pesky abbreviations: http://www.multirotorforums.com/thr...bbreviations-acronyms-secret-codes-etc.14239/

It was a foreign language when I started and I lurked for awhile until I got the hang of it. This is a great place for help. Remember to learn how to search the knowledge base here - it is vast.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the great resource. I ordered all my parts to day and hope to start building in August.
