Well I had been debating if I really wanted to do a multirotor build, which one it would be, and when I'd get started. So now one could say I've pulled the proverbial trigger that answers those questions at least in part and our favorite Swede is to blame with the release of his latest and greatest tricopter, the V4.
To keep myself on good terms with my bride I need to keep this relatively inexpensive or at least spread out the expense over time therefore I've begun this adventure with just the top and bottom boards. I know DW is big on performance and efficiency therefore his setup would be top-notch but regardless I'm choosing to mix and match with parts not from his kit. I will share my thoughts of the wisdom of that choice in retrospect.
My intent is to simply build a fun FPV platform that has both function and form. I'm not sure what all that will entail but a RunCam2 will likely be my next purchase that I'll use on the V4 and other platforms while the build is underway. Eventually I hope to have a 360 panoramic cam that will allow VR pilots and/or passengers to look all around without the need for an onboard camera gimbal.
