Okay so this is literally the first time I choose to build a quad. I had plenty of rtf ones. Give me your opinions.


1. Frame
- Hobby King FPV 260 (small frame)
2. Motors
- AX-2810Q
3. ESC
- Afro ESC 30A
4. Flight Control Board
- AfroFlight Naze32 Acro
5. Transmitter and Receiver
- Turningy 9X 9CH Transmitter
6. Propeller
- Gemfan propeller
7. Battery and Charger
- Multistar High Capacity 3S 5200 mAh
8- FPV Gear
- ??




Recommendations? Be nice. Lol
 
Think a little smaller and lighter for a 250 :)

Motors: I run 1806 2300 kv on mine. These http://www.rcsunnysky.com/html/2014/xsseries_1016/32.html (2300 kv) or t-motor if you want to pay about 20 more, but I have always read that sunny sky are just as good for less.
Batteries: 1300mah - 1600mah (max 2200mah but it would be heavy)
ESCs: Afro 12-15amp

I don't have time for the FPV, but hopefully someone else will chime in.

Would it help if i kept everything but changed the frame to something bigger?
 
from what ive learned recently, it seems like you have to decide what you want to do with it. if your going for an acro board i guess you want nimble and fast. so stay with 250 frame, i wouldnt go for a massive battery, may as well get more smaller ones. from my experience, flying for 6-8 mins is plenty when your not interested in photo work.
 
Can you add links?


==Edit==
Just as Dudeskin said, small batteries are fun, if you want more time just get a few small batteries.

Great FPV starter. You can upgrade the camera later if you wish. Comes complete. I am guessing from your parts selection that you are more interested in fun flying and video than racing. Perhaps something in the 300mm-330mm would better suit your needs.

There are many more frame choices out there. This size range will work with your electronics sources and be easier to fly than the smaller quad. Check out the Spektrum clones for your radio. Really a good value.

Hopefully this will help. Don't forget misc. stuff like silicone power wires, PDB, connectors, bullets, soldering iron, solder, charger etc.,etc
