Hi guys,
I am new to multirotor flying, I have just finished watching the tough tilt tricopter build video.
I am lead to believe that this is a cost effective way to start flying. I am going to buy the Dragonfly kit so that when my ability progresses I can easily upgrade to something that has more power.
My goal is to learn to fly and then shoot some video mainly at car meets and track days for fun.
Although the video is fairly comprehensive I still have doubts with exactly what hardware I need to buy, my list is as follows:
Power Pack D (Dragonfly PentaCopter) $150
ElectroHub Dragonfly Kit $45
Tail Servo $12
Naze32 (acro) flight controller board $29
ZIPPY Compact 2200mAh 3S 25C Lipo Pack $15
Turnigy TGY-i6 AFHDS Transmitter and 6CH Receiver (Mode 2) $63
Battery charger $20
Total $314
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice to whether this is the correct hardware.
Similarly I chose what appeared to be a decent transmitter/receiver combination, if this is incorrect please suggest something else.
Finally at $314 it is fairly pricey, I am just starting out in multirotor flying so is there a more cost effective way of learning that will still allow for progression with the same hardware later on?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
