Hi all,
I'm about to make my venture into the QR world, adapting an older QR I have here into a new model with a better frame and using the APM as the brain for my further research.
Since I'm on a relatively tight budget I just want to ensure compatibility with the range of parts I'm using and make sure I haven't missed anything.
Here's the plan -
IMU - "ArduPilot Mega" (http://store.diydrones.com/ArduPilot_Mega_kit_p/kt-apm-01.htm)
Frame - "ArduCopter 3DR-B Frame Kit" (https://store.diydrones.com/Arducopter_3DR_B_Frame_Kit_p/kt-ac3dr-01.htm)
ESC - Have - 4x "Mystery 30A BEC Brushless Speed Controller"
Motor - Have - 4x "Turnigy 2217 16 turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner"
Propeller - Have - 4x "10x6 APC Tractor Propeller"
RC Gear - Have - "HobbyKing HK-T6A-M2" w/reciever
Magnetometer - "HMC5883L Triple Axis Magnetometer" (http://store.diydrones.com/HMC5883L_Triple_Axis_Magnetometer_p/br-hmc5883-01.htm)
Lipo / Charger - Have
If you could give me feedback on the three item's I'm purchasing, and suggest if I need anything else it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Everything seems good, just make sure that you have counter-rotating propellers, as you need have 2 motors spinning clockwise, and 2 spinning counter clockwise.
Otherwise thats all you need for a basic arducopter setup.
Anyone? :(
