Part list for my first Quadcopter.

Hello all!

I'm looking to build my first drone. I assembled a part list. Any and all changes are welcome. (Please keep in mind I want this to be cheaper rather than more expensive)

Frame: HobbyKing Q450

Motor: NTM Prop Series 750Kv (This is really an issue for me, so I don't really know which motor to get. I know you need an accessory pack to.)

ESC's: Turnigy Multistar 30AMP

Props: GWS Style Props (This is another thing I need help with)

Flight Controller: AfroFlight Naze32 Rev6 (I'm pretty sure you need a few more things for radio control)

Charger: I have a charger

Battery:  Zippy 3S 4000Mah (If there is a better LiPo for this, I'd love to hear it.)

Controller: Turnigy 9 Channel (Totally open to other controllers)

Voltage Alarm: HobbyKing Voltage Alarm

 

Combo: (I saw this combo and was wondering if it was a better alternative) MultiStar/Afroflight Combo 

Thank you for all your help. If there are any questions, please ask. You guys are awesome!

Edit: So, I read a few articles on flight controllers and so it seems like a Naze32 is more for racing drones rather than a more "smooth flying drone" I'm betting the racing drone will be harder to control. So, which controller is better for "smooth/cinematic" flying? I heard the DJI Naza V2 is ok, but, it's expensive. I have a Navio+ but I'm worried about breaking it. Is there some cheaper and similar performing controller? 

Thanks again!

  • I've always liked building rather than buying. Yeah, it'll cost a chunk more, but I'll learn more from it and have more fun to.

  • So if I was to go with a larger drone I would be better off with a Pixhawk, Navio+, or some other board like that?

  • Ah, so I just wanted to fly this around for fun. So something like the cheap HobbyKing 250 chassis would be better? (They do look fun) 

  • Naze32 eh?

    • I heard it was a good controller, and it wasn't very expensive. 

  • I changed the chassis to the HobbyKing S500
