@jetdillo @circuitlaunch Actually the second *in person* event in a year. We do virtual races every month
Update: we're moving it back one day to Sunday (the 4th) at 11:00am instead

Hi,
I have the same stuff but confused what to do know. My knowledge is insufficient..could someone here help me??
plz
Thanks for the response! I am still trying to get used to this blog/forum interface that's you have going on here.
I thought the MultiWii setup had a proven backbone in the FPV copter world, and is designed to work with all the sensors I listed above. My component list above would build a microcontroller identical to the Paris V3 Aerial Photography microcontroller already offered as an assembled kit from the website. Additionally, I would start with some comparable size and weight frame pre-progs to load onto the device.
Its not that $40 will make or break this hobby for me, but its $40 worth of LABOR that i would rather save and spend on a tangible good (RX/TX, goggles etc...) necessary to get my FPV setup up and flying. My high tech tank planted aquarium has cost me several thousands already, so I am used to having expensive hobbies. Fortunately, I currently have the means to afford partaking in them, that is, until I get married and have children. :)
Since my intent is FPV, i somewhat concluded Hobby King's offering is too limited to provide for future growth of my system. I have been recently redirected to the OpenPilot Copter Controller platform. Seems to be higher power, very open source, smaller PCB, and more stoutly built (no breakout boards etc...).
Any tips on motor/esc/prop configurations?
My thoughts are you have a long road ahead on integration and debugging. You'll need to a lot of code dev too. Fitting a DCM/Kalman filter and everything else on a 328 is TIGHT!
The APM is good and ready to go. If you're worried about $40 your in the wrong hobby. One crash can cost you that.
Hobby King has a knockoff MK controller board you might be interested in if you just want basic stabilization.
