Hello everyone! I'm quite new to the flying stuff world. A few months back I bought a Syma X5C and I've logged about 50 hours of flying (I actually keep a log with info like: location, wind speed, flight length and random notes), but I'm quite done with it. I'm ready for the next level.
For the past few days I've been researching and looking up prices and comparing and I'm stuck. I want to build my own quad (or tricopter) out of wooden dowels or aluminum. I've already found these parts at the local hardware store and also bought the tools I need.
Next on my list, the electronics. The problem is, I don't have anything. I need the motors, ESCs, PDB, flight controller board (something programmable, I'll want to build multiple bodies using the same parts: quads, tricopters, all sort of stuff), battery (3 or more), receiver, transmitter, battery charger and eventually I'll want to do some FPV and GoPro recording.
The essential stuff is quite expensive. Could you please help me with lists of parts at different price points that would work together? Please take into consideration that I live in Romania and shipping to this place is not cheap. I tried buying stuff from the Flite Test shop and the shipping was $100+. Anything from Hobbyking, Aliexpress, Banggood would be great!
So for now, just lists of essential parts, no FPV for now, no camera mounts, that will come later.
Thanks a lot!
