    Hello! (not a guru, more like a newbie)

    I am about to do the same, did you already made your frame?

    I am planing to use square aluminium, I have some black coated from the local alu-shop.

    And use plexiglass to join them with "pop" rivets. 500 size.

    How big is the frame you are planing, motor, prop size.

    APM or other platform, OSD, FPV Telemetry ....

    I am wondering if I can use my CX-20 Tx, and use the modes:

    GPS Hold, Return Home, Headless, and Altitude Hold.

    It will be nice if you share what you are building/planing to use :-)

    I am the only one flying quadcopters here in miles range.

    Location La Union Philippines.

      Thanks for reply, I am going to use all aluminum, would like to have frame around 500+mm, I am thinking to use 360kv motor with 40amp msc I am very confuse about using the flight control, I would like to have fully loaded FAV autopilot flight control with gps but cheap or mid range , please help me to choose flight control.

                                          Thanks
