---------------------------------------------Motors/propellers--------------------------------------------------??
----------------------------------------------Battery / charger---------------------------------------------------
??

So I want this quad to be able to fly for about 10 - 12 min / a distance of about 5-6km with "decent" speed (i.e. Im not that interested in acrobatics so I want it to be able to get off the ground and fly without having to wait like 2 min for it to lift ^^ )
Total weight of quad without batteries and motors (but with a gopro) is estimated at; 720g
My questions;
1) Have i forgot anything important? Like wires and such?
2) How are my remote control devices? Will they work well without much hassle for me? (programming, flashing and such?)
3) Can somebody help me with what type of Motors & propellers I want? I read something about if your flying more for distance you want low Kv and smaller propellers?
4) Can somebody help me with what battery I need for this badboy? (charger also i guess)

If you have any questions or I have forgot something feel free to ask and point it out. 
Also I am very grateful for all the help you can give! 

Yours sincerely,
Richirichard
