Mini brushed Quad FPV

[Trimitsos]

I am intrested in starting out with a brushed micro quad!
I have already bought a toy-quad and had a lot of fun with it - Time to move on....

I am interested in building a brushed mini quad myself, in order to be able to do all repairs and modifications. I also want to buy a "Taranis FrSky X9D" receiver (love the community support this radio has).

PLEASE do tell me (since I am still exploring posibilities available).
Is there any cheap flight controller with embeded received, that is also supported by Frsky - I am interested in brushed micro quads!!!

Thanks a lot

I'm new to quads myself, so not sure about the FCs with embedded RX, but in my limited experience it's better to get standalone components for a couple of reasons:
1. easier to diagnose issues
2. cheaper/easier to fix if a component dies (e.g. combo FC and RX - RX dies but FC is fine, you'd need to replace the whole unit)

My advice would be to pick up a compatible RX and build it out ASAP!

What quad would you suggest for FPV:
1) pre-constructed or
2) DIY combo kit?
I like something really something small bt brussless, size: prefer x180 and below but a bigger better proposal will be taken into account if worth while.
3) what would be a good size for a beginner? 110mm? 160? 180? I am not into big quads like 250 or so.
Not too much into races but speed/power is always apreciated!! ;-)

I have just purchased a taranis Frsky x9d plus receiver with X8R and X4R receivers (EU-Firmware!!!)
4) what tiny sized receivers are there available for EU firmware of FrSky?
I also just constructed a tiny FPV module in conjuction with an RC832 receiver (from flite youtube test's channel instructions).

What would you say I should start with?
My budget is arroung 200€ (batteries excluded)


lots of questions, and little help until now.
Thanks anyway
