videos | at work | information | view | construction
Thanks to Lumenier for providing parts for this build: www.getfpv.com After learning about the world of FPV quadcopter racing, we couldn't wait to build our own. With the help of Lumenier and FPV quadcopter flyer Charpu, we learn about all the components needed to build a solid mini racing quadcopter for under $850, FPV kit included. Charpu helps us assemble the quadcopter and gives useful tips for first-time builders. It's really not that difficult!

this video is one years old, was there some changes in components (see the video description). Thank you.

I soldered a couple wires once?!

My first "intro" vid to Quadcopters. The thing that's sorta blown my mind is what Cleanflight or similar products are and how they work into flying Quads. I'm reading, reading, reading... I did just pick up a used Blackout Mini H that oughta arrive in a few days and I'm sorta racing to get the right receiver, batteries (chargers, balancer), FPV goggles. There's a lot to get up to speed with!>!! but it will no doubt be worth it. Thanks for posting! A great vid!

he kinda looks like the guy from rogue one

I was like 'hey, let's get a drone!,' and then the frame was $150 and I was like, 'oh wait, never mind!'

Hi, can you help me with my quadcopter.
I'm making it on QAV 250 frame. I am using 2300kv brushless motors, 12A ESC and 5inch triple blade propellers.
I'm using Arducopter 2.5 as flight controller and 3 cell LiPo 11.5V battery.
For transmitter I'm using Flysky 2.4 Ghz 6 Channel transmitter.
The problem is that I am getting enough thrust to lift the quadcopter but the problem is that it is not getting balanced in the air and it trips. While programming APM Planner says, "Compass not healthy."
can you please help me with this problem.
Regards Anuj -
Was gonna say that these prices are way off, but this video was from 2 years ago.

how hard is it to fly these things?
-
how much does it cost for everything that they created on this vid? :)

It would be helpful if you could make a step by step guide
