My very first fpv quadcopter build.

I enjoyed a lot building this and looking forward to the next build. I'm still not sure if I want to build a 3" which of I have the frame already or do I want to build another 5" freestyle kwad with top mounted battery.

All the parts are available on Banggood.

You can find me on Instagram.

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone!
