Newbie Setup Help

[Paul Shelley]

Hi all, so I just joined the forum today, have a true love of everything RC, used to race 1/8 Truggies and 1/10 Buggies (a loooong tim ago) but in my slightly more mature years felt like a change. I started ordering parts to build a quadcopter based on a zmr250 (wanted to keep it cheap to begin), I'm still waiting for a few things to arrive but in my impatience have started putting it together already. I bought the Turnigy i10 package with all-the sensors etc and a budget Flight Controller from AliExpress (Openpilot Revolution complete set), I think I may have double bought telemetry gear, does the OPlink do the same thing as the sensors for the Turnigy i10? Not sure if I need to install the OPlink and sensors for the i10??? Any advice would be HUUUUGELY appreciated.

You haven't mentioned flying any other quads before. If this is your first, it's going to be quite a handful for you.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I haven't flown anything other than a Carrera RC toy quad in the house, I kinda like to throw myself in at the deep end though. I'm aware of the power to weight of the setup I've chosen, I guessed it might be a bit on the skittish side, I figure that's the best way to learn though. I'm not going to be racing yet, it'll just be for learning to fly to begin with, I'm going to weigh it down with quite a bit of gear to compensate for the excess power. Any advice you could offer would be appreciated.
