I've put together the following mostly from eBay and some other uk suppliers, I've watched many videos but am brand new to all this so would really appreciate some experienced eyes to spot any incompatibilities in my build or any dodgy eBay fakes:

Thank you Jackson, luckily I'm coming from the gaming side so thumbsticks and the overall shape look perfect :)

I've done a small amount of hobby electronics etc in the past so have all the tools, only real problem I had was a 5.5mm spanner for the M3 nuts, also FPV camera mounting was a pain because I didn't get an HS117x style camera that'd fit my frame,

Key components went together a treat and I was flying within a day of my motors arriving! Dshot600 meant for no calibration!

Look for posts on my profile and there are a few others of the iterations
