Hey,
I have decided i want to attempt to build my first quad and make it a hobby.
What do you think about these sets?

I do now know much about quads for now, but from what i read the second choice would be much better. Or are they both bad options?
Note that i am only trying this out for now and i do not want to spend too much as long as i have not even tried to build one first.
A friend will lend me a 6ch remote and a battery charger. I already read a lot about batteries so i have that covered :)

Any help would be appreciated :)

Second choice has better parts, and is going to be more of a slower flying camera quad, while the first is going to be a big more crash resistant (lighter, and smaller), but also faster and more of a fun little racing quad.

Thanks :)
Any oppinions about the quality? I am kinda worried that i am buying all of this from china and they might perhaps stop working sooner.

The bigger one is certainly better quality, but also has a lot more complicated flight controller.

I would suggest something like this to get into the hobby. Or if you have a bit more money a Robocat 270mm build kit. The parts are not the best, but with something like this you can upgrade as you grow into it. The nice thing about 250s is that they will take a lot of abuse. Also the props are insanely cheap, I have both and I usually can get 40 - 50 plastic props for my 260 for less than a few sets of of CF props for my bigger quad.
