This is my first build which I have relied heavily on the UAV Futures Multi-rotor guide along with the UAV Futures community. Surprisingly had no issues with this build, possibly due to the many youtube videos I watched along the way.

Awesome Build. Have the same frame and flight controller currently, will be using your build list for possibilities for the rest of my items. May try for a blue theme.

Thanks mate. I think it is a great beginner build, I have crashed it a bit now (No concrete) and have only bent props. I think having the tpu protection will help it last longer.

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
