This is my first build, but definitely not my last. This is meant to be a low cost budget build to help me learn the basics. I went with a 180mm size frame for a 4in prop build. The installed Naze32 Rev6 flight controller is pre-flashed with CleanFlight, which I will be using to understand flight tuning. Since it's my first build, I soldered the supplied 90 degree pins on the flight controller because I was afraid to cut my ESC signal wires too short. Moving forward, I'll direct solder all wires to the board.
Tip: I used extra zip ties to create a channel on the top plate to prevent the battery strap from sliding all over the place.
Tune in, as there will be more builds to come.
Cheers!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
