Looking for opinions on my first full build

 Greetings all,

I have recently began planning on my first full drone build. I have some experience with building drones in the past, however those were mainly just RTFs that I would install a flight controller on. I have chosen the following list of parts as a basic build, however I would like some input from other people due to my lack of experience. It should be noted that I built this with some of the cheapest parts I could find.

What I am asking is:

  • Is there any potential compatibility issues between parts?
  • Should I consider upgrading, downgrading, or chaning a part?
