Hi Everyone! Well I am finalizing the list and have narrowed down the choices. I have much of the odds and ends but still need the props, motor, ESC. Here is my setup with some questions on some things at the end. I would certainly appreciate it if you could take a peek and see if there is...

You are very welcome Kristoffer! Don't be afraid to ask questions! Mike :)

Way to Go Jay!!!!!! I am going to be picking up my motors and esc's tonight hopefully....still researching the damn thing. I can't wait to see it up and running!!!! Do you have the KK2.0 or did I recall you saying you had the KK2.1? I have the KK2.1 and there are some new firmwares available...

Excellent question! I have a Blade Nano QX "Bind and Fly" that I use and love it! It has self leveling features and will also do attitude (full control/acro). I picked it up for under $70 at the local hobby store and I use it as a trainer to build my flying skills before going to the F450...

Welcome FTR! I am building an F450 as part of the group build here. You might find some good info there as well as the rest of the site. Bunch of stand up people here! Here is a link to the thread: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?14280-Group-Build Mike :)

+1 for the Mobius as well. I have one that I primarily use for a dash cam when tracking my car at the raceway. Outstanding little piece of equipment and they can be had for under $70 bucks. Here is an EXTENSIVE link to them on RC groups with some pretty great footage from every type of...

Windows has windows movie maker and it is free. I have seen some people use Sony Vegas Pro but it is very expensive. If you are student you can get it for under $200.

Hi JJ, Welcome to the forum! Have you flown multi's before? I hadn't until just over a month or so ago. I picked up a Blade Nano QX BNF for under $70 and have been flying that around the house (still on crutches) and it really helps with understanding orientation and the flight controls. If...

Welcome 2Peng! I too am building an F450 frame and selecting my parts. You should take a look at this thread....there are a bunch of us that are all following along for a Group Build on a DJI F450 frame! Bartman has been placing up videos to help illustrate what to do. Take a look...

Warmest Welcomes Crater! Happy New Year to you as well! You will find this forum a treasure trove of information and great folks too! What are you planning on flying? Are you building from scratch or are you a seasoned vet at multirotors? Cheers, Mike :)

Warmest Welcome Aluisio! My first time as well but after doing tons of research, asking questions, and meeting some fine folks here I am getting more comfortable with this all! Looking forward to seeing you here! Mike :)

Welcome Ollie! Biggest suggestion is to research all you can! Great resources out there! You won't be a pest. If you are confused ask. There are some of us that are brand new to multirotor aircraft and some here that are definite experts...between everyone you should be good to go! Mike :)

Glad your stuff got there finally Corey! Where are you at in Korea? I spent a ton of time at Osan and Kunsan AB from 1998-2002. Can't wait to see you get em up in the air. I am going the server PSU route as well! Still awaiting some connectors and wire off of eBay and then I will start...

Will do Bart! Thanks for the well wishes!

Happy New Years to everyone! I hope that you all have a wonderful 2014 and hope to see you all in the skies! Mike :)

Happy New Year Bart!!! Excellent video and I love the tip you used for showing us how to use the power distribution board to allow for more flexibility! Another tip that was terrific for everyone on a budget is using the elastic bands around the pliers to act as a type of clamp....very slick...

Alaskan, That is the cheapest I have seen an ARF one with this stuff that I have come across. I elected to go a different route and am sourcing all of the parts individually. I am not familiar with the NAZA products but many folks are here on the site. Someone will chime in soon hopefully...

Good to know....I am not familiar with the differences between DSMX and DSM2 fully so I can't really comment on it. Ill try to see just what else is out there. This is my first DIY build so I am keeping things VERY inexpensive to get started. I am not ruling the Lemon or Orange out yet though....

Welcome Martin!

Glad we got it all squared away though! Thank GOD we only have less than 12 hours left before it is 2014 :) Thanks for all the information....as a new guy to the hobby it is nice to get the basics out of the way!
