First build! Just wondering if anyone could be so kind as to point out any problems with my component list. Thanks.

Hey, a quick thought is that you might want a switchable VTx. The one you're getting is really strong (600mW) which might be a problem if you're flying with others (and be ridiculously illegal if you by a bit of bad luck have ended up in the UK). There are switchables that can take 25/50/200/600 mW I think and that might be a clever choice. Looking good otherwise!

Thanks man, I think I will go for a 200mW, switchable would be preferable dependant on price. I think I was being overly paranoid about range. Tonight's the night, I got 4 large beers, my bank card in hand and I'm going to order my shit! Not been this excited since Chad asked me to the prom before he realised I wasn't a girl.

Haha no worries, you don't really need a switchable I think, it was just in case you really wanted a 600mW one, then switchable might be important. Good luck!
