Hello all, I am located in Ontario Canada and am completely new to air RC, I have years of experience with surface bashers and racers.
Now I have decided to dip my toes into drones and see if i get dragged in lol.
Please forgive me if I'm not supposed to post a longer post in this section but I literally logged in and saw this and decided to spew everything out in my first post...
Anyway as far as I know (hear) "current" support for F1 boards (naze32,cc3d,etc..) is dwindling and I have settled (and ordered) a Naze32 for my build, first question is will i be limited and unable to utilize an older release of say clean flight or can I always just run the latest firmware that supports my board even if it is not a current release? Are older releases stored and archived so older boards can still be set up?
My build is as follows, mostly cheap parts just for my first build, if anybody could give pointers/tips, or things to look out for or keep in mind?
Motors- ReadytoSky MT2204 2300kv
ESC's- ReadytoSky 30a... don"t know much about them, they have yellow shrink tubing over ESC, looks pretty ugly TBH (not sure if BL Heli, or SimonK, or something else?), if anybody has more info or can help with these as I am a little unsure about the details on them, they were cheap and I figured worst case scenario I need to get more ESC's...
FCB- Naze32 Rev6 6DOF
PDB- Matek PDB (XT60 connector) w/BEC 5v & 12v
Frame- LS-210 Carbon frame
Props- Dalprop Cyclone 5045 3 blade props
Still need to get a radio, probably a regular old FlySky I6 or I6X/I6S
Battery- Planning on running a 3s, around 1500mah or so, dont want too much weight and don't want too much power, would 40-60c be adequate for a drone like this?
As stated before any info would help, thanks all in advance.
Hopefully I will be around the FT forums to bother some of you vets with my noobish and mundane questions for the foreseeable future Ha HA!!
