I currently fly:
x4 quadcopter
FlySky FS-TH9X transmitter
Turnigy 9X reciver
3DR PPM multiplexer
3DR telemetry radio
3DR Pixhawk autopilot
ArduCopter V3.1.5
I have encountered and solved many problems, and now I finally feel relatively comfortable flying, changing parameters, reading log files, and fixing mechanical problems, My next project is to modify my FlySky transmitter to run open TX so I can program all my switches.
My question to all of you is what would you recommend for my first upgrade should be?
Better transmitter/receiver?
High Gain antennas for tx / rx / radio?
Camera gimbal?
Video transmitter?
Antenna Tracker?
Range Finder?
Carbon Fiber body?
Go to eight motors?
What do you think and why.
Thanks for your input,
Rich

That's a good question. Currently i'm in the learning mode, not the Doing mode, so I'm looking to add parts just to learn more. But now that you asked, I guess ultimately I would like to fly autonomously over (un-populated) large distances (given battery life), while monitoring video and telemetry data. Perhaps even take off at one location and land at a WP 3K away.
What do you want to DO with your machine?
It's pretty hard to suggest upgrades without knowing what you eventually want to do that you currently can't.
