I decided recently after getting a chance to operate an Aeryon Scout that I would like to have a Quad UAS of my own. I have started my build of an H-Quad. The same design that was posted recently from FliteTest.com. It looked to be an easy frame to build and is essentially a X-formation Quad. Here are the preliminary photos and a list of parts. Since this is my first Quad build I would love to get as much input as possible. Thanks
Frame: Scratch Built H-Quad Frame
Motors: Turnigy D2836/11 750KV Brushless
ESC: Hobbyking SS Series 35-40 Amp ESC w/ 3 Amp BEC
Prop: x2 CC 11x4.7 and x2 CW 11x4.7
APM: APM 2.0 running Current ArduCopter Firmware.

I have completed the build so far. It is ready for flight testing. I have checked the motors and all are spinning in the right direction, ESC are calibrated, verified that the right motors increase and decrease in stabilized when a force acts on the frame.
I have all the PIDs in the default settings is this adequate for a first test hover? This is my first quad so I am trying to get the most information I can get from the community.. Thanks in advance.
Here are some updates on the Build.
Here is the website where I found the planes.
Very easy to build. The rest of my building parts are on the way.
The wood only cost me 5-10 dollars.

What did you make the frame out of? It looks like it might just be wood if it is what type/sizes since I was thinking of doing something similar myself.
ultimate !
