Very interesting. Did not know this. I will follow your recommendations! Appreciate it.

Haven't started on it yet, waiting to see if my buddy or Dad is going to join me in building one together. I did get a lipo safe bag, but I didn't know about storing them at that voltage or running them too long. Thanks!

Yeah I think so. Grabbed the kit straight from DJI, the Taranis FrSky, and these batteries (ZIPPY Compact 3300mAh 4S 35C Lipo Pack). Although crap, looks like DJI just massively discounted their kits. Considering returning and re-buying! (Is their customer service good enough that I could call...

Awesome, thanks Bob B.

I am a software developer, so hopefully that shouldn't be an issue.

Taranis it is. Thanks guys!

Seeing recommendations for the turnigy 9x, 9x pro and the taranis frsky. The frsky seems way more expensive, but I see a lot of people pushing for that. Literally my buddy and I have no idea what we are doing, and brand new to just about everything RC related. Also some people are plugging...

Disregard, I see the motor speed listed there. Still would take suggestions on transmitter/receiver. Thanks!

This looks pretty solid then: http://store.dji.com/product/f450-naza-m-v2-landing-gear One thing is unclear to me though, it doesn't explicitly say it includes motors, and what kind (that I can see). Would seem like it should though. Any thoughts? Any direction on transmitter/receiver?

Yep. Good thought. Moving on that!

Interesting! Is going with a clone of a Pixhawk more risky? Any other FC you might suggest? M V2 maybe seems the safe bet for a beginner. Thanks!

Hey all! Newbie here looking to do a F450 build. If you were redoing this build right now, what would the component list look like? I have no real method of deciding which newer bits to swap out, but hoping to follow this thread's instructions pretty closely. I've seen a kit with the naza m v2...

I saw that. Does look promising. Looks like it was originally 2014. Would all the parts still be available, or potentially newer suggestions? (I'll read through it.)

Hey all! Totally new to quadcopters, and want to build one out instead of buying to learn. An F450 frame seems to be the leading recommendation everywhere. Not exactly sure which other parts to grab though. Many of the build outs I've seen are older, so curious what a recent spec might look...
