What company did you order from? "I should have saved my money for a better quad" THAT is the the biggest/hardest lesson that is most learned throughout this hobby.

You defiantly want to avoid flysky radios and receivers. You could get that and upgrade as you get the money, but I would strongly suggest against that radio, unless you make a fail-safe for it.

I'd go with 3 blade, as for props it kinda depends how you want to fly.

Looking great, the eye looks like it would help a lot.

Battery, this one has 45amp constant discharge rate, I suggest getting a couple of these smaller ones as apposed to one bigger capacity battery. Radio, I suggest getting the Spektrum DX7, if you want to stick with getfpv.com and have the money, if not Isuggest the Turnigy 9X from hobbyking.com...

What motors and ESCs do you have? If you are not racing in any types of competitions with rules on props and your motor/ESC combo can handle 6'' then it should be fine.

Always a limiting factor haha.

Sounds like you and Neil will have a lot in common, you'll find quads cheaper to fly, and somewhat easier to fly than a heli. Look into Hobbyking.com they have warehouses in the UK, and have everything you'll probably need. We use them probably more than any one store, just be sure to get as...

Yeah, they use "drones" and mostly helicopters, which would be far more annoying, and disrupting.

45 amps, but you don't usually draw max, and bout all batteries have a burst rating.

We don't get positive media attention until a news station decides they are like "drones", as all media stations are biased, if not obvious in their articles, then obvious in what they decide to report on.

I agree, but if you are flying in a wooded area, or doing racing a GPS will only get you into trouble, whether it is a fly away, or if you try to kick the RTH in with a tree above you. I am getting a MutiWii to replace my KK soon just for the GPS.

Could be prop imbalance, or props too flimsy.

Looks like they are a good choice, maybe Neil or @Jackson can give a batter answer. @holtneil

Sounds great. Maybe you can post a guide on it later.

Haha, I know the feeling, I had two solid hours of preparation to fly, and a prop exploded while I was doing a setup run, it damaged the frame, and I had yet to get any flight time in aside from the crash xD.

I was able to repair it. http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/repairing-shorted-lipo-why-not-to.4443/

Haha, thanks. The profile pic is something I cobbled together at around 4am, it is a picture of me in a Guy Fawkes mask and crooked sunglasses, and I pasted the USAF (Unites States Air Force) emblem on after I was sworn in. I don't yet have any cool quadcopter pictures so I used that xD.

Lol, hopefully in a non creepy way xD. I know at first this stuff is rather confusing, so I am working on making it less complicated. Check this guide I am working on. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g9DdHQPNaRJD47F2gLn0ZvAYGjW_ajpS2RcGAn7WPKU/edit?usp=sharing

Haha, good point, I am still building up to that phantom price tag, and I love my quad probably more than I would a Phantom.
