Self build kit

Racing Quads, Self-builds & FPV
1

Hi.

My shifts have changed at work and now have every other monday off :smiley:

I am going to be looking for something to pass the time on mondays in the winter months and thought about a self build Fpv quad or wing…

My question is…

Is there any suppliers that do an all inclusive kit (like you would get with a tamya rc car etc ) including goggles and controller ?

Or is it a case of getting a shopping list together and buying everything separately?

I hope its the first option, because my knowledge of whats needed to build anything withiut instructions to follow os limited to say the least :wink:

Cheers

Youtube and this site are your friend on this one. There are so many variations on frames, flight controllers, motors escs. Then controllers massive choice not just on size and layout but the type of signal they transmit. Then you have video transmission, analogue or digital then on digital there are different manufacturers with different protocols.
Then once built you are going to have to learn Betaflight so you can program it all so they work together.
My first advise would be have a look at a controller that you would like, possibly go to a meet up and see shat others are using. Once you’ve bought that get on the simulator and get some hours in.

To give you an idea of the scale of what you are considering take a look at this playlist from JB.

It is a run-through of building an 5" FPV quad from one of his kits. Which of course are from the US, so harder to get in this country…
