I add links to post whenever I notice a useful resource on the forum. http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/lipo-guide-or-information-nexus-choosing-care-repairs-disposal-and-more.4699/

It is nice, but the cameras are never very good, is this a major concern?

S comes from what is called a cell configuration. 3S1P means 3 batteries in Series (double voltage) and 1 in parallel. Turnigy sells their 5200 multistar in 3S2P and 3S1P, the difference is that one has 6 smaller cells and is a lot thicker and the other only has 3 5200mAh cells

Well most quadcopters will do high altitudes, if you just upgrade the transmitter to be longer range. Just get a RTF that is within your budget (I suggest getting a Phantom 1 because of the longer flight times) and get a transmitter like a Turnigy 9XR with a 1000mW 433mHz module you could...

We can try to get a part list together, but you may be better getting something like a SYMA.

This is a very hard budget, $240 (USD) is usually the lower end of the price range. Do you use another currency?

Quantum V2 goggles are fairly well priced about 100 for everything you need (goggles, tx, Rx, camera)

Looks like your off to a good start, care to give a part list with links?

Make sure the motors were on a level plain when calibrated. If the landing gear are off a little you can have the motor shafts against the bottom of a table. Probably jsut was not level when calibrated.

Go into your receiver test and make sure everything is at 0, if not trim it to 0. You also might want to learn how to fly in just stabilization mode, it is not much (if any) harder to learn than in auto-level mode and you'll be able to fly better.

That is a hard question, do you know if it is left handed threads or right handed? I got a fine thread nut from a hardware store for mine.

Be careful with the cheap motors, they like to fail if you run them hard and the leads will break off or you handle them ruff, jsut keep that in mind.

You need a power-distribution board, also can you provide links to the products,

What transmitter/reciever d oyou have? Is it PPM, or PWM? and regarding the red wires; it does not really matter, if it gives you problems you can unplug them, I leave mine in the cable, as I don't want to worry about something causing it to short if the wire gets out of the tape or...

For return to home yes. The multiwii is reasonably priced and does all you would need it to to in that respect.

Look here for controllers that support what you need and you think are in your price range.

Haha, it has been done with sonar. There may be one or two opensource, but you'd have to do a lot of work to get it to work.

Sounds like you might have a mode 1 transmitter. Can you provide a link to where you bought it?
