Haha, great video.

Sounds good, also what did you take the picture with?

Haha, bigger head maybe, but it is more like a bag of chips xD

For number 3 it sounds like you tested the battery while it was not under load, and your voltage tester was testing under load. For a quad you pretty much don't get it to just hover, you have to mess with it real time, though throttle expo would help a lot. As for the drifting check that...

If AUW is 4 kg then you should have around 15 minutes flight time with 5200mAh. Leave the frame big, I just upped my 370mm frame to a more than 700 mm and am adding two motors haha. Bigger frame means it takes longer to re stabilize, but also that it stays more stable, for this type of...

How big, and how heavy is the frame? Aluminium is great (What I built my frame from), but it does have a few setbacks, like vibrations and weight. Great Tx, for the FCB 'd consider an APM or a KK depending on budget, size, and type of flying. 1000k/v are fine probably, maybe a little...

Important conversions, before I caught the currency I thought it high haha 275AUD = 193USD = 173EUR

What is with the second polarized antenna?

That could be the problem, or it could also be caused by too much weight if the motors don't have much torque. Do you have any way to check the battery to see if it is fully charged? (mutitester, test the voltage). Your charger may be set to do either storage charge or for 2C. That is the...

Very true. Also as a disclaimer it is up to individual users to know their local laws, we can only give you advice on how to build it given guidelines you bring up. Many countries have laws regulating long range frequencies and using too much power.

You probably should switch to 430 amp ESCs. Probably should use the 5200 mAh battery because the 10,000 will not deliver I stopped there because I noticed your goals, the current system won't do anywhere near that. Your range in any direction will be closer to 300m and your flight time...

That will help a lot then, half of the battle is already won haha. So your looking at a bout a $30 budget? You won't get FPV (not that the FPV is worth much until you get into more expensive quads) it will help you to learn to fly. The Estes is pretty nice, but I have a friend that has...

Haha, Linux will already run on quads, so I am fine xD

Like Jackson said, if they don't have it don't worry. Flying FPV with a monitor is very different than with a set of goggles, as you can see the quad. Orientation is the hardest to get a hold of, and learning on a toy grade is a lot better than trying with something that cost a lot and may...

You should start flying LOS, and most (including myself) suggest starting in manual mode or with just stabilization. This is because it is not much harder to fly in manual mode and you cannot trust self-leveling to keep the craft level as it drifts quite a lot. In FPV this actually makes it...

The design is pretty simple, yet impressive at the same time. Can you post plans and maybe specs (weight and size) here somewhere? Haha yes, now something odd will happen and they'll break xD. I said the same thing about a frame I built and it looked like it got ran over a few times with...

They will be the same, just take a look at this as the controls are different. Mode 2 is how most people fly, if there is an option to switch modes, or if the receiver is separate I'd suggest you did that.

Haha, Windows 10 updates are having about a 50% success rate at the moment. I upgraded to Linux on my main HDD of personal computer a while back. Have not regretted it one bit xD.
