Thank you for the link with some brightening explanation. And referring to my last question: if I go for the FlySky FS-i6, am I ready to fly without needing any extra items for the transmitter?

Yikess, I've already bought and got the 1500mAh T-plug delivered because I didn't notice the plug was different than a XT60 connector in the description. Any suggestions if I can change this connector to a XT60 one? Or would it be smarter to just return it and go for the XT60 1500mAh you've...

Yeah in the end it went slower than I was hoping for. You need a lot of items you wouldn't think about as a newbie. So the first thing I would recommend is to watch some popular Youtube channels which show the entire list of parts you need to have before starting your build like this one. You...

By the way, what's the advantage of having PPM?

I'll go for the FlySky FS-i6 you've suggested. The reviews are good only I can't find any info about its range. Also, do I need anything else for this transmitter to make my quad fly? (The FS-IA6 receiver is included and I've got some AA-batteries of course.)

Thanks for the reply. I like the HKTR6a a lot which you´ve suggested. The only problem with these is: because it´s from HK the shipping costs are the same as the price of the product itself (I'm from Europe). I'd rather buy the transmitter from Banggood where you aren't charged for shipping. I...

Hi there, I've purchased every item I need to have for building my ZMR250 quad except for the transmitter (and receiver). I've done some research and found out the fail safe is a must to not lose your quad when your radio signal dies. Also, more than 4 channels on a transmitter seem to be very...

Okay, I've ordered the CC3D and the PDB. Only need to find a few nylon standoffs (instead of hundreds in a box) to mount the FC + PDB. Further I need to find a cheap transmitter and a receiver. And a lipo-charger for this battery. Maybe some Loctite will be good for the bolts although I...

I thought some standoffs would be more solid. Learnt about it by this youtuber. (you'd probably know him) Also, I'm planning to mount the CC3D above the PDB like is shown in this picture Still thanks for the tip! I will probably find another purpose for the vibration damper if I won't use it...

Also, does anyone have an idea wheater the CC3D can be mounted with M3 standoffs just like the Naze32 can?

When you order the CC3D you can choose between 'straight needle' and 'bent needle'. Does this refer to your saying of '90 degree pins'? If yes than I'm going to buy this so called new version OpenPilot CC3D with bent needle.

Okay, seems like the UBEC with the ferrite ring would be a better choice bc later on I'd want to go for FPV. I've read a lot of reviews about the PDB you suggested and there seems to be a chance of getting the pdb with too great volt differences. Still I'll go for this PDB: it's the same size...

Ah I see! Thanks for the correction

These look really great for their price. Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, I cannot order them. Apparently Amazon doesn't ship to Europe.

I used this link to calculate the Amps. The max. Amps one BE1806 motor will draw is Max. Power / Lipo volts = 84.4(W) / 11.1(V)= 7.61A. My ESC's can handle 12A each. The 1500mAh Lipo Amps are calculated with: (Lipo mAh rating * C-rating) / 1000 = (1500 * 35) / 1000 = 52.5A According to...
