I would like any and all input on building a quad from the ground up. I want to know everything. The quad I want will be a 250 size. I would like it to be able to fly easy for a beginner and tunable to make it more agile as my skills advance. I have not really thought about a budget for the quad but I figure about $350 or so should get it. I would also like it to fly on up to a 4S battery, I'm really not sure about that one but I am guessing it would be more powerful with that # of cells, I don't know. I have not made a concrete decision on a frame but I want it to have 4 to 5mm thick arms. I want it to be very strong. I want the motors to be reliable, not some el-cheapo crap that will fail after a couple months. The same goes for the ESCs. I want a Rx that is compatible with Spektrum DSMX. I want this quad to have parts that will be available for a while and not hard to find. As for props, I don't know if the two or three bladed ones are better but I do like the three bladed ones as they look better.
That being said, there are companies that have quads already built. I have not looked around at the different ones so if that would be my best bet, then so be it. But I do want the experience of building it myself. I really enjoy that aspect of RC.
So, what do you guys think? Is it a pretty hefty endeavor? Am I going about it wrong? Don't hold back!
Thanks.
