Quadcopter getting a arducopter, what will i need

Hello!

I am building my first quadcopter with the parts listed below that i had recommended.

Can i only buy the arducopter and be done with it or do i need anything else?

do i need to replace the sender\reciever to more channels? to have use for the auto hold etc?

do i need bigger motors? Anything in the list not needed when buying arducopter?

Any help and tips would be much appreciated=)

  • "Loiter" anywhere. Just flip the toggle switch and your copter will hold its position using its GPS and altitude sensors.
    • Automatic takeoff and landing. Just flick a switch and watch ArduCopter execute its mission completely autonomously, returning home to land by itself in front of you when it's done.


    Where are theese switches? Or where\how do i get them?=) Yes im a newbie

ArduCopter runs on the APM, not the Hobby King control board listed in your original post. If you want ArduCopter features like loiter you'll need the APM. The kits from 3D Robotics are a great starting place.

That kit comes with the APM and everything else you need (add radio, battery, charger). If you want to use the APM on a different frame you can get the APM by itself.
