First Quadcopter Build ZMR 250
I'm not the newest person in RC but I din't really jump in until last year.
I did some stuff in 7200 mhz days but after that I fell out. I got back in
and now I've built my first quad and I love them. It's now my new obsession
and I foresee a lot of money diapering into it.
I used a preasembaled kit fro ebay + my Turnigy 9x
On the kit I order from the USA witch is about $20 more than one from China, but keep an eye on them I got mine for about $96.00

Little Red "so many parts."
My soldering station is best soldering station!
Almost Done
Done but could be better
Better!
And now for something Completely different! "fpv gear"
This was my first adventure into fpv inolving rc. I deced to go with a 5.8ghz plug and play kit with the quontum goggles from Hobbyking. I wanted the goggle experence but I din't want to spend $200.00 on fatsharks entry level ones.

Not the best cable management.
Well it's done! "fpv gear"
I solderer the motors and for some reason I can't figure out now I put them on the bottom of the arms to get chewed up by the ground. I'll fix it when I upgrade the power or the esc's.
Now what?
So I have some upgrades planed. One is on the way ant it's better fpv antennas. My order of priority of upgrades are as fallows:
Let me know what you think of the build or what I should change or part to change to while I upgrade it.
Have a great time flying.
I have now been flying fpv for about 7 flights and here are the videos I've made with this quad and my Gopro hero HD attached to the top of it:

Now what?
So I have some upgrades planed. One is on the way ant it's better fpv antennas. My order of priority of upgrades are as fallows:
- solid fpv video
- good recording video
- quad performance/efficiency
Let me know what you think of the build or what I should change or part to change to while I upgrade it.
Have a great time flying.
