This is my first quad build. i spent a lit of time looking qt different frame options and finally settled on the marmotte and from there looked at other build threads for ideas on what i would put in it.
I wanted to use a FC/esc stack as it seems like it would be easier than having separate esc's.
My biggest concern was if i would be able to get the jeti radio gear i already used for flying fixed wing working. Many things i had read lead me to think it would be difficult if jot impossible.
Once i got started it came together quickly and next was the radio wiring. after reviewing existing issues on github and with the help of those already using jeti rc gear i managed to get the radio and quad talking and the setup is pretty much done.
after looking at many reviews of goggles i settled on the skyzone 030s and im just waiting for my prescription diopters and to get my osd control setup and its ready to fly
