APM arrived today. price has gone up to 30 from 9 but I will watch and see if they come down again as I wanted a couple just wasnt aure about size.

This looks perfect for the 210 and the qav240 frame.

Been researching for suitable gps ect and could do with some advice on this as there is many and I believe the gps/compass is whats needed. searched modules and can find them but would like them cheaper.

Need to know what else required, planning to use clean or betaflight.

Whats best receivers for these? Im looking into transceivers and receivers right now and need a frsky diy stlye rf for tx. the work out what receivers to use.

Wil be ordering turnig x9r pros over next few week but for now I need to sort my tx out and work out what it needs.

Thinking of using tablets on top of tx for fpv eventually but for now its sort receiver and tx out then batteries.

MT2204 motors came but only 1 pair. they are not same as glb so meed to source 2x black top glb 2204 motors. best ive found is 27 a set which is crap compared to al the other sets of 4 you can get. id seener get the rs2205 type motors and most likely what I will do.

Goto order a 300 size frame and start getting answer on the parrot ar2.0 boards for now im more inclined to use the apm to get flying quick. depends if i need the sensors or not for the parrot boards.

Not looking forwards to software and told mrs she gona have to get haor laptop out and learn it all herself loool my aims racing right as a couple. Turn up with multiple quads. this is for summer next year though but i know we need to learn the software ect now.

A lil help please guys. Il work it out in the end as I believe with hit a time in technology were anything can be done and for cheap too. All the arduono stuff is a statement and its only just getting started. I learned real quick anything with rc, quadcopter ect demands a premium while you can find cheaper alternative under other titles.

Its a amazing time to be alive!
