It took me a very long time to build this quad, mostly because of my lack of knowledge in the different parts for FPV drones. There are a lot of old miss leading videos out there that can create a huge challenge for new pilots. I recommend only watching JoshuaBardwells videos. I started with a Rev 6 Naze 32 which in 2018 is ancient gear. learned fast that changes had to be made to almost all my parts (Naze 32, D4RII, Runcam swift). I kept the motors and ESC the same since I already was satisfied with those for both freestyle and races. I do think this quad is a bit too expensive for a first time build but I wanted a good quality drone that wouldn't be to hard to fly and still reach the demanding speeds that I like. So far my flights have been great, the power I am getting out of this quad I personally think is perfect. After flying a little in a flight simulator, flying becomes a lot easier since you have gotten the basics in your head.
