hello, im new here and ive been dying to get a quad copter fpv of my own. I honestly don't know much about what its gonna take to fly. well I figured id start with a ZMR 250 v2 body with a PDB and leds. I really want the MXP230 Elite body but maybe another day.
im gonna over the course of paydays every couple weeks im gonna buy parts. I know some of the parts needed and some I dont. id like to have your help in understanding the basics of building one, which parts I need and what they are for, and can all the parts run together. im mostly looking for speed, good maneuverability, LONG range for the quad and the fpv gear. oh and ill be using 3S batteries, but maybe go to 4S. Props i will get, 5040's but i will get 6 in props if i buy the mxp230 someday
okay lets get started.
for the esc im planning on getting 12A BLHeli racing series, should be good for Xhover XH2204-2300kv Racing Series motor. there is a 25A esc, whats that for?
okay for the flight controller I need your advise, im thinking imam get a cc3d compared to the naze32.
well first, whats the difference? do they affect flying any?
lets see, I believe I need a receiver next. im gonna get frsky, i really want to get long range of flying.
am i gonna need a clover antenna or mushroom antenna? ive seen big clover antennas and im not liking that as an option. but yea any recievers in mindi should consider? im gonna get the taranis X9d radio. what are modules, servos and telemetry sensors? i have a feeling its for gps.
okay i dont know if i missed anything for getting it to fly. as for FPV gear and stuff, its gonna take me a while to get around to it. but i would like a very good idea of good quality video, long range, and i want fatshark goggles. i want the emersion effect and it would be wonderful to have DVR capabilities. i will wait even longer for a go pro oror Mobius camera, way to much money. please include anything that will help me understand and if i missed anything.thank you!!
