Need help to choose parts

I am considering to buy these parts. Nothing is sure. I just like some of them, or think they match.

1. Frame
2. Flight Controller
3. Motors
4. Battery
5. Transmitter:
a. Flysky i6X FS-i6X
b. Flysky i6S FS-i6S
c. RadioLink AT9S
d. Skydroid T10

What kind of ESCs should I choose. 4in1 or 4 seperate?
Will the skydroid package cover my fpv needs? Or I need to buy extra parts?
Also, which kind of receiver is better? Regular size or the mini receiver?
Feel free to suggest better parts.
Budget 300-350€. Could get higher.

Frame - nice
Flight Controller - Awesome!
Motors - nice, but drop down to 2450kv
Transmitter - AT9S, meh (out of date) FlySky is OK, but I'd go with FRSky QX7, you won't be disappointed
ESC's - this frame is not designed for individual ESC's. The RacerStar REV35 is a great 4-in1 for the price, personally I use the Spedix GS35 on quite a few builds
 
Oh wow I just realized that frame is different than most frames as the electronics are on the bottom, never saw that design before. Looks interesting.

Firstly, thanks both of you for your replies.
It's the first time I see the transmitter you suggest. I suppose that i need to find a seperate receiver to bind it with.
Also, I am still having a lack of info about the last transmitter I posted. Will it cover my fpv needs, without having to get extra parts?
I have seen some combos of fc, esc and vtx. Are they worth it? Something like that.
Compared to the first fc I posted, which one is better?
Thanks in advance.
 
It's really up to you to decide how you want it to be built, that's the best reason to build your own. If you are unsure of how you want it to be, go to youtube and watch some build videos.

As to the "best" way to do it? Lol it's very subjective.
 
I'd say no to the "Full Stack" solutions for the most part just because it locks you into those boards or something with compatible pin out and layout I'd rather just solder the wires to the board directly than be worrying about some connection coming loose. Agree with others here only other option I'd throw out there is check out jumper T16 or other jumper transmitters with 4 in 1 radio module included they are a pretty good deal and work with tons of receivers (frsky, spektrum, Traxxas, etc. etc. and run OpenTX, granted I believe frsky puts money into OpenTX and Jumper is sort of "stealing" it but it is open source and there's no reason one transmitter shouldn't be able to transmit different protocols)

Thank you for your reply, but I have already ordered most of the products that we have written earlier.
When I receive all of them and start building, I will post again about the results.

Cool yah let us know how it turns out just wanted to throw in my 2 cents maybe help others or for future purchases too though things do still seem to change a bit year over year.

Since you want to help, I would like your help on if This receiver is ok with that transmitter

Yup looks good both frsky and plenty of channels just need to find the sbus input on your FC and hook up the receiver sbus output to that then can bind the receiver to transmitter and program some switches to map to different channels then in betaflight map those channels to different modes (arming, angle mode, turtle mode, etc.)

Thanks a lot for now. When I build the quad I will inform you, or ask any info...

Do i need a lipo sensor for my quad? Is there a native function that informs me about my battery's situation?
If i need one, is this ok?

Also, what about that buzzer? Are those worth it?

The flight controller (FC) has a on screen display, which means you can pipe analog video into it and it will add a digital overlay with your battery voltage and any other info you find useful then pipe that out to a VTX. Buzzer doesn't hurt to have can help with locating but wouldn't depend on it alone.

Can see "DVR" footage recorded here showing th osd
(this is mostly what i see in goggles was noisy this day though and the youtube encoding made it worse.
