anyone here kind enough to help out with my project? i'm a newb starting off with this uni project of building a quadcopter (gps flying vehicle) that can fly autonomously. I need help for suggestions, parts, price, etc
I have bought some of my equipment which i'm not certain of its capability.
APM 2.6 flight controller
30A ESC
920kv motors
9" propellers
3300mAH 4s battery
price: RM1500

I still need a remote control and frame.
remote atleast 6-9channel cheap ones i saw a flysky RM400 is it ok?
and frame cost rm150 for 450mm (looking for weird frames as mentioned its for uni project which i dont want my lecturer to think that i bought a ready made quadcopter such as the dji F450)
Any suggestions?

flysky with 8ch receiver like rm250 only.

Btw, you ever fly a quad? Kinda risky money wise to do such a project if got no experience before. and rm1500 for all that parts you listed seem super expensive too

making your own frame is no more riskier than buying one ... that is IF u made it properly la

I guess i hv to go with expensive frames cause i have no idea how/where/what to start with building the frame.

which devo? devo7/devo 10 i heard is pretty good and easy to configure, problem is need import online otherwise buy here so expensive

any special reason you want get 9xr? just get flysky th9x enuf already. rm279 from rcsmart. complete with receiver and rf module

my quad just arrived today

wow, that quadcopter of yrs looks really well built..good for you..hahaha

no special reason for turnigy 9x, just worried for future problems if i get others since turnigy 9x is well recommended by so many people. someone told me that devo transmitters are not good so i'm just taking that advise.

devo f7 is available at timesquare 6th floor (rm750 without the camera) devo 7 and 10 also available. i'm considering devo F7 since the FPV is built in at the remote but i dont want to regret. so hard to decide sad.gif
