First time build list opinions?

[DougS2K]

Looking at building my first quad. Just want something I can just cruise around and look at stuff with a decent (over 1KM) range. Main objectives of the build are near 2KM range, position hold and return to home functionality, and approximately 20 mins flight time or as close as I can get. Pretty much looking to build a cruiser which has proven harder to find build advice on given most search results are dominated by racing quads. Anything you would change or recommend I reconsider?

I have yet to try a flight controller/pdb combo (aio) however the idea seems to be accepted by many.
My opinion is that you are better off with an independent pdb, fc, and individual ESCs.

The F722-SE seems to have high praises so I figured it was a solid bet. I was thinking about a 4in1 ESC for weight savings but most people seem to think individual ESC's are better like yourself. Makes sense I guess if one goes it's cheaper to replace.

You might need higher amp ESCs for those motors though. 30 ampers would be better using 2400kv motors with 4s. 1700's might need 45-60 amp.

Hmmm. I thought 2207 motors drew 20-25 amps but I could be wrong. I will double check this for sure.
