Do I have the right parts?

Hey guys, hope I'm in the right place.
I have been flying nano quads and my neighbors Phantom for a while and I want to build my own quad. I made a list in my shopping cart but I'm not sure that I have everything I need or the right parts. Here are the links:
Frame
Low Voltage Buzzer
Charger
Battery
Propellers
Controller/Receiver
Flight Controller
Motors/ESCs
Another Frame(unsure of sizes)

Please let me know if there is another place that I can get these parts for a better deal.

Thanks so much for the help!
 
Welcome to the forums, always glad to see new people joining.


As a word of warning: this will be a lot harder than a Phantom, and harder than the toy grade you have flown.



You don't need the low voltage buzzer, the KK has it built in.
Your motors are too small, you want lower k/v motors for this frame, somewhere around 980kv. Unless you use the second frame you listed.



The first frame is probably a 500 or 450. Which do you want? A fast mini, or a bigger quad that can carry a good camera?

If I were you I'd try to get everything from hobbyking.

That is definatly a knock off charger, if you buy it you have a chance at getting a good one, but it may not even work.

take a look at the reviews

If your going big then I suggest this batttery, it is light and has a higher capsity

Take a look at this review on the charger: "Don't buy this. Yesterday my Lipo battery exploded while charging and the destroyed my quadracopter. The system doesn't charge anything above 4K millAmp batter. I got a shock when this device didn't control the charge. Also the seller is selling the fake version. This is not the real version."

4K meaning anything over 4 Ah, so it won't charge the 5.2 Ah battery.

OK so after doing more research and watching more videos, I revised my list and I hope its correct this time. Also, GJH105775, some of the links you listed didn't come through last time and I wasn't sure what you meant.
I poked around on HobbyKing and figured that it would probably be easier and possibly cheaper to just do everything from Amazon. I took a look at the charger and decided that I won't be able to tell whether it's a knockoff or not, so assistance on that would be great. Same with the battery, except I don't know which one is right.
I put everything in my wish list so you could just click one link to see it all.

Thanks for all your help this far, I know us newbs are difficult. ; )
 
As far as frames, this one looks a little cooler and more modern. Plus the configuration and colored arms (there is a choice of colors )will help with orientation.

The charger is a knock-off. May as well get it cheaper here, USA ship.

As far as the transmitter, I'd go for this one. Note it is smaller than the one you picked.

http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-106-fs-i6-6ch-remote.html

It's quite sophisticated for it's price. Has a backlit LCD (many don't), full failsafes, throttle curve in plane/acro, telemetry (with add on modules) and PWM receivers are available.

And if you get this you can update the firmware.

And with it and $5 play this.

For props, maybe these would work better as you can get multiple colors.

A brighter color in the front and say blacks in the rear will really help with orientation. Buy lots. You can later move up to fancier props.
