Hey Guys 

Before I start...just a little bit of information about myself. I'm located in Pretoria, South Africa. I have been flying heli's and planes for just over a year now and decided that it's time to get myself a multirotor. I did a hell of a lot of research online as well as tons of reading and came across DIYDrones.com. 

I recently joined DIY Drones and have not had much to say yet (my subsrciption was only approved earlier today) ... but I have been doing A LOT of reading and became very jealous of all the nice projects everyone here have been building. I have also gotten a couple of nice ideas in the process, that to this amazing website.

Tonight, I had so good news though ... I recently ordered everything needed to start my first Quadrotor build. I just received an email notifying me everything has arrived and is ready for collection. 

Tomorrow I'll do the trip from Pretoria to Johannesburg to collect my parts and will be posting some more information once everything is here. 

Since there are no unboxing videos of the kit I ordered on youtube, I think I'll try and do an unboxing video and will link it here as well. 

From then on I plan to document the build in as much detail as possible. 

I will do the build in stages using the parts in the kit but will hopefully be adding things like the FPV, camera gimbal and LED lighting at a later stage. 

I'm also already in the process of planning but I'm already my next build (Using Autocad)

I'll chat to you all soon... Wish me luck :D
