Gathering information

I'm getting ready to build my first quad. I have a list with brushless motors, ESCs, propellers, etc. 

The frame is going to be DIY.

I have one newbie question before I select a RC Transmitter/Receiver. Is there a RC Transmitter with the feature to reverse the controls quad is facing me? My brain has trouble controlling something when I have to move the fingers in the opposite direction than is "normal" :-)

TIA.

  • Hi,

    I am sure it is quite normal to have some trouble with controlling the quad while viewing from different references. I know I do. It's the same problem with RC cars and fixed wing aircraft. Keep the "front" of your quad pointed away from yourself while you are starting out. After much practice, you'll become more comfortable about the orientation of your quad. Good luck.

  • As a fellow newbie, but one who has read through the information, I believe "Simple" mode is what you're looking for...and it's already part of the APM firmware.
