A little about me: I am a newb to the field imo. I have flown an indoor standard heli, one of the $20-30 units with counter-rotating blades. I have flown an indoor/outdoor quadcopter and wrecked and rebuilt it to only a little success. I have a fairly small house, but I have decent an open air area that I could fly in about 8ft x 15ft x 3-8ft. On to my question.
Are there any or what is the best indoor quadcopter as far as carrying capacity and stability? What I would want would be either a kit where I could create the frame (I already have some carbon fiber square hollow rods I could use) or a commercially available quadcopter that has decent carry capacity so I could increase the battery size if I wanted to, or play around with flying with small dangling loads.
It would be fun to build my own but if there is a kit that you would recommend, keep this in mind: I cant/dont want to do my own programming, I can solder, I would prefer the kit to be forgiving and versitile meaning the main components can take a few rough impacts and I can increase battery size/blade length without too much hassle. My budget is definitely less than $100 for either option. For the kit option the $100 would be for the "guts" of the copter and controller the parts for the frame and lets say battery would not be in the $100. I have a controller from another copter, the indoor/outdoor one, but I dont know if I could use that or not.
I know its a lot to ask, my main goal is to be able to fly this thing around my house and like I said, play around with flying with loads.
Eventually I would like to get into FPV racing, but that will have to be when I have more expendable income.
