Hello Forum,
Please be so kind and tell me what you think.
Last week I spent a few hours flying a Phantom 2 and it seems to have hooked me. So I am now planing my first drone build.
People say Taranis QX7 is a solid 100 dollar transmitter and that is the first thing I bought. Next I picked up a Q330 and Q380 frame, simply because they were 10 bucks each.
I will start with building on the 380. The goal is to find a sweet spot between agility and flight time. I don't want something boring to fly but at the same time, being a new operator I need stick time and want atleast 20 min flying on a battery. So, needs to be more exciting than the Phantom 2 and idealy have 20min+ flight times. And not spending more than needed would be great.
Here's the list I have so far:
- Multistar 2212 920 motors with 9x4.3 props combo

- MultiStar 32bit ESC 30A NAKED (30A will easily handle the 20A motors, and NAKED means I get to do more on my own and learn)
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/multistar-32bit-30a-0-lite-naked.html
- KISS F3 32bit Flight Controler V1.03, more sophisticated than I need at the moment but maybe I shouldn't cheap out on the FC
- FrySky XM Micro Ultra Light 16 Channel S.bus Receiver (600m range is more than enough for my VLOS and I don't think I need telemetry, so this cheep receiver looks good.)
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/frsky-x...nel-full-range-s-bus-receiver-eu-version.html
- Multistar 5200mAh 3S 10C Lipo, I am worried if this will be enough A for the motors during bursts.
- Turnigy Accucell S60 AC Charger (I like the price)
Does the build look sensible on paper? Did I forget anything?
