    Dart 450 build, need advice

    I've got my shopping list assembled for a HK Dart 450 build and would appreciate any advice before I pull the trigger. I'm basically looking for a FPV drone for general bashing, not really racing or aerial photo. My experience thus far has been flying a Syma X5C in Mode 2 to get familiar with...
