I always loved rc planes, boats… I build them in a past. But that was always very expensive hobby for kid. So I grew up and earned some money and decided to make my own quadcopter.
Budget was about 200 eur. That means a little better than start models of quadcopters. Also if you build it by yourself it is cheaper and you’ re more flexible. I need quadcopter who can easily lifts 2 gopro cams, because i’m very interested in aerial footages. And maybe later in FPV. FPV means firt persons view.

I got a lot of informations from my friend, who bought kit. It was for about 140 eur without battery and receiver. After a chat we realised that it is better if I buy parts seperatlly from ebay and hobbyking. I didn’t change a lot his configuration. Just control board, battery and escs.
Configuration of quad is:
-KK2.0 Multi-rotor LCD Flight Control Board
– F450 Multi-rotor Quad Copter Airframe
– motors D2822/17 Brushless Outrunner 1100kv
– propellers 8045 SF Props 2pc Standard Rotation/2 pc RH Rotation (Green)

– EC POWER 3000mAh 11.1V 3S 35C lipo li-po Lithium Polymer Battery RC
– 7.4V-11.1V Lipo Battery low voltage Alarm Indicator 6W MR16 led light Bul A
You will also need charger and receiver.
– Li-Po 7.4v 11.1v RC Battery Balance Charger 2-3 Cells
– HobbyKing HK6S 2.4Ghz FHSS 6Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2)

And now I’m impatiently waiting for parts 🙂
