i began this build first flying LOS.Had to replace the first PDB and top plate and luckily just props. After about a month or so final got the FPV set up going well. Ever since then she flys like a dream. Still flying on stock PIDS so their is some prop wash and oscillation if i am in the disturbed air. Been racking some serious flight time and hitting some sweet spots along the way. Just 5 months into the FPV journey and can't see myself going back anytime soon.

You're going to need a flight controller. I suggest a sp racing f3 board running beta flight. The Emax rs2205 2300kv motors are good for beginners, I'm currently running them on a similar frame and they're great! However I do highly recommend buying them from emax-usa.com so that you can ensure they are genuine. You can use an ESC that is 20A and up. For the VTX I would go for a more inexpensive one. One quick tip, make sure you soft mount your fc.

I hope this helps!

Good Luck!!!

yes

Yes they are compatible, however I do recommend not useing the six blade props. go for a tri-blade like the DAL T5040 V2.

ok thats good to hear. I did end up buying some tri-blade props from a store here in town. I am really into the hex props I might try once i know everything is running smoothly. Have everything coming in Friday and during the week. Excited and anxious.
