So this is my first attempt at a quadcopter build. I was hoping someone would be willing to look at my parts list and tell me if it will work (or if there's better options)

Lumenier QAV250 frame $99

Tiger motors MN1806 2300kv w/ 12A ESCs $180 (come as a set of 4 together

Gemfan 6x4.5 props $20(4 sets)

Turnigy Accucel-6 50w 6A charger $23

Turnigy 9X 9ch transmitter $60

All together, it's about $632 before taxes

I'm not looking for the best of the best quite yet. I want something: fast, fun, and not going to cost an arm and a leg to fix every time I crash.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you. :)
 
Great quality, good parts, if you think you may want to do some long range stuff in the future I'd suggest you get the Turnigy 9XR pro, if not tehn the 9x is great, if you have not flown much before I'd suggest you grab a couple packs of 6x4.5 x 10 pairs for ~10$ here is one such example. Also with Hobbyking remember to buy from the closest warehouse to you, which may mean changing your smaller parts up a bit, you can save a LOT on shipping by doing this.
 
Finished this a while ago but thought I would share with you since you helped :)
I ended up going with a Taranis plus and a d4rii. And tattu 45c 1300mah batteries. Still working on tuning it, but it flies great on 6045 props. I keep breaking them though so I'm using 5045 for the time being. Absolutely hooked on quadcopters. About to finish a budget 250 build (waiting on parts) and making plans for a 210 build.
Thank you for the help!image.jpeg
