hi,

im planning to build my own quadcopter and I just wanted to ask if im going in the right direction with my choice of parts.
I already have:
frame: http://www.amazon.com/X-Mode-Alien-...d=1429200388&sr=1-4&keywords=quadcopter+frame
UNO R3 2012 Development Board MEGA328P ATMEGA16U2
3.3V-5V For Arduino MPU-6050 3 Axis Accelerometer Sensor Gyroscope 6DOF Module Q
Prototype Prototyping Shield ProtoShield Mini Breadboard For Arduino UNO R3 #F8s
Two Channel Logic Level Converter 3.3v - 5v TTL

Planning to buy:
motorsX4: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Foxnovo-MT2...F8&qid=1429205819&sr=8-11&keywords=2212+motor
ESC: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-HP-Sim...097?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item418c9a42b1
or esc with motors, but without simonK

propellers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pair-10...491?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2edc03d5db
baterry: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-2200mA...456?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2adedd18
controller: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9042__Hobby_King_2_4Ghz_6Ch_Tx_Rx_V2_Mode_2_.html

also maybe someone has any suggestions about controller, because i want to have a camera at some point and also be able to control using phone or tablet from distance(200meters). I would be able to write my own soft for tablet, but i have no idea how the signal could be transmitted.

Thank you for any help.
 
Those first motors are plastic, too weird. I'd also be leary about eBay SunnySkys, probably fakes.

I'd also shoot for SimonK ESCs.

Those 25C batteries are cutting it a bit close @ ~ 55A/4 = 13.75A per motor.

This 30C-48C one will give you a better cushion @ 66A+ and probably run cooler and last longer.

and also be able to control using phone or tablet from distance(200meters)
I don't think that range is possible.
