Hi All! This is my first time posting here, though I've been lurking around for a few weeks trying to build up the courage to actually build something. After a fair bit of research, I've decided I want to give the Tiny Trainer a shot. It seems straightforward and like it would be a good first build and a good step up into 3 and then 4 channel RC.
My question about it relates to electronics. Rather than just buying a FT power pack, I want to try and piece together the parts for a few reasons. First, I know this will save some money. Second, I think trying to understand these components well enough to pick things that are compatible will help me build a better knowledge base and serve me well in the long run. Third, I just like having the choice and I never settle for ordering one thing when I could instead order 10.
Being completely new to the hobby, the electronic side of things is still complicated and somewhat nebulous for me. That being said, I've gone through and compiled a cart of what I think I need to complete the Tiny Trainer on HobbyKing. I'll toss a screenshot in here:
Based on all of yalls expertise, does this look like it will work for me? Are there places where I really should spend more or places where I could cut some cost?
Keep in mind that as my first build, I'm sort of just looking for something that won't break the bank but that will function well enough to convince me to spend more on the next project. Aaaaalso, if the tiny trainer is the wrong model to go with or you see any gaping holes in my plan, please just let me know. I'm looking for any and all advice you're willing to give.
Cheers!
