No, I'm fine with building one, but I pretty much have no experience, so I would prefer to have an RTF quadcopter. I have been looking at a QAV250 on Ebay which includes an entire system for flying it using FPV.

ringolong Well-Known Member Jul 5, 2015 #4 That is almost the same setup I started with. This is a good starting place, but I would try to find one with higher quality motors such as sunnysky. I had the emax motors, and they are just not durable enough imo. And the fun begins!
