Looks like you will have flight pics in no time ProfFalcen... I am still waiting on parts.. the little things like purple thread lock o_O

I would think 7 is a minimum.. I see a reference to some sort of stable mode or flight mode in most boards and it would be an extra channel... the telemetry as a side to the radio makes good sense.. I am leaning toward the 9xr since its software can be upgraded without soldering to the...

holtneil.. I did look at that.. thought harder about the mini version and a kk2.1.5 with built in radio as well, but I am a gluten for punishment so I have a CC3D (found a good price on what I think is not a copy) on the way.. some motors/blades and a 450 frame.. next round of spending will...

LOL.. never count the time to find the tools unless its a billable job ;)

Thanks for the link Matt.. looks like you are on the same path as me.. and the same budget :-/ I am looking at several controllers.. I keep coming back to the KK2.1.5 but its elusively out of stock.. I am patient.. I am also interested in thoughts on a few controllers this version of the...

thanks.. more to learn :-D

I have been doing my homework.. so I have some questions.. Bear in mind I have resolved my self to getting this together by spring so I will be patiently buying bits an pieces over time.. and I would rather get the cheap controller that I can add to if I need what can bee added.. HobbyKing...

thanks holtnell.. that is some great info.. I was hoping to find that there is an entry level craft that has a good transmitter/receiver, controller etc.. that I could build bigger frame and get bigger motor/blades for as my skills improved.. when I built model planes half the fun was...

is there a good starter quad in the $100 or under range that has good guts for up-scaling frame and motors to a bigger quad?? I am a tinkerer so not afraid to build, but I like up-cycling everything
