I have watched these and want to see him hook up the video.

In the mean time I picked up a toy grade quad to see if I liked it. Well I do!

 

[holtneil]

Hi mate welcome to the forum toy grade are ok but omg your going to love the hobby grade so much more fun

Haha, A lot of people seem to be viewing these before posting a racing build list, because the parts are almost the same.

I going to follow this guide when building my own. It nice to see an entire video from start to finish of a build project, very helpful for beginners.

I can't wait for the FPV setup. after watching these videos, I know I could build one. And I am starting to think I could fly one!

 

[GJH105775]

Haha, FPV is absolutely awesome. The hardest part is paying for it

 

[DrDiff]

I would imagine that FPV makes it easier!

 

[GJH105775]

It really does on orientation, that I am still getting used to. After being in the air for 5 minutes or so I start to get it really good, but when I re-start i have to get re-used to it.

I ordered a chassis today... glass...

 

[holtneil]

Ok so your now bitten by the bug and there is no cure

 

[GJH105775]

Haha, no hope for you at all. Soon you'll be getting a mortgage on your house, and buying barren fields/abandon factories to fly in.

 

[DrDiff]

What house? I've been spending that money on surface RC, High Power Rocketry, and Slot Cars for 20 years.

Investing in the important stuff ya know!

 

[GJH105775]

Haha, living in a tent with a bunch of RC stuff is better than a house pinching pennies to buy RC stuff xD.

Hears a link to my build topic.. http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/my-first-quad-build.4655/

Here is a short video of its first hop...

Hi mate looking good if I was you I would mount a zip tie up off the back of the quad put the antenna on it and cover with heat shrink so you can see it , will look smart mate

 

[DrDiff]

This is a temporary setup. I am going to get a FrSky DJT module and D4R rx.

 

[GJH105775]

Haha, you should see my temporary setups..... hot glue and tape in abundance haha.

 

[holtneil]

Still mount it this way it will give it the pro look
