Newb Arducopter questions

Hi,

 

A few questions about buying an Arducopter.

 

1) Are the kits and prebuilt models sold at udrones and jdrones considered Aducopter 1.x or 2.x models?

 

2) I'd like to add telemetry as well as FPV.  Udrones offers telemetry but only the 850 motors.  Jdrones offers 850 or 880 motors, but no telemetry option.  Are the larger motors necessary if you want to do FPV as well as the telemetry options?  If so, and I went with the 880 motors at jdrones, I'm guessing I can add the telemetry later? 

 

3) Are there any other major differences between udrones and jdrones that I should be aware of?

 

Any recommendations from anyone about which way to go are appreciated.

 

Thanks,


Win

both jdrones and udrones have the same design (both are the latest version, 2.0), but may offer different options.

 

The smaller motors are fine for regular FPV or GoPro cameras. The larger motors are best for a larger camera.

Udrones and Jdrones were bothed linked to from the diydrones page.  Is there a purchasing option directly from diydrones?
