New Hexacopter build - 650mm Revo FC
« on: January 01, 2016, 08:56:14 pm »
Alright,
So I have flown quadcopters for a few years now, but I have been wanting to build my own for some time now.
I want to confirm that the components that I want to use will work...and also get any recommendations from the pros who have built their own. Please let me know what you think!

Here are the links for each part (or see attached file):

I didn't check the actual parts, but the prices are higher than really necessary.

I buy a lot of stuff from ebay.  Starting out I buy cheap at least until I know what I want.
