I wanted to start a thread to help someone like me getting into this either as FPV or for commercial.
I opted to go with the Xaircraft X650 a few links that are pretty obvious from one setting it up are. now with hthis WIKI use google alot because there are many sub links within the wiki that i would never have found . such as setting my ahrs, or calibrating my camera mount.

Another forum that has a wealth of knowledge is this
http://www.rcgroups.com/multi-rotor-helis-659/
Now there is I think 200 pages of information so be patient on here use google again to research questions.
Now for me I had lots of questions for LIPO batteries and I did wreck a 100$ battery after 3 flights on it. due to not timing the flight correctly Always use a timer on the flight!

Now someone on a budget that wants a quad should look into either the guai 33 or the x650 they are cheap and VERY easy to fix , you will brake arms,landing skids, etc.
my landing skids are full of popsicle sticks and electrical tape now if I have a hard landing with all the electrical tape nothing brakes it just bends. Everything is cheap to fix.
I will keep adding stuff as i think of it. but my best advice is to use google and youtube. There is a wealth of knowledge even if it seems that there isnt!
