I use a power source for security cameras 20 amp 275 watt, this method to calibrate and test the quad is a source of economic and 6 amp 12 volt for the radio is very good. with a 12 gauge wire two pairs of 2.30 meters long I can last for 24 hours at half throttle and 16amp with 8 engines.

Dear Simone, would you please give me a list of components to build a quad-copter...I need a recommended list of components since it is my first time to build it. I am so appreciated... Ibrahim (ibrahimabdelhameed@yahoo.com)

I would recommend using a 2 cell balancer JST plug as it has the correct number of connections (3) meaning you are less likely to plug it in wrong into the radio the. With two connections you can plug it in reverse on the connector and destroy the radio.

Ibrahim, the best solution is to buy a ready made kit, like jDrones or the 3DR kits. It cost less and it's less time consuming than buying all the pieces separately. The links to buy them are in the menu of the site.
