Nobody is perfect so am i :)



@rohan it seems reasonable as a good quality 28 class ntm motor cost about 800-900rs on hk and 30a esc on RCM is about 900 so i seems to be reasonable...
about the battery i haven't heard the name so can't say anything but turnigy 2200 20c cost about 950-1050rs..

Good luck

Regards

Consider using Arduino Mega2560 as this is the controller in many of the popular FC's and besides at some point you may find Uno not enough for project in hand.

im at this moment using the HK multi-rotor board v3 coz it is easy to setup and no programming required,i am programming the arduino uno with mpu6050 gyro+acc but it is not quite working well ,i crashed my friends quad while trying to switch the quad in hover mode ,it accelerated first then the motors stopped working ,the frame got bent but the electronics were fine,so trying to learn how to program...if anybody has a code for any arduino platform and a commonly available sensor(like mpu6050) ,please pm or mail it to me on rohan.sakhuja123@gmail.com so i can study it coz i believe by studying someone's code i can learn faster,not in detail but at this time faster is better
And thank you everybody for the replies ,you people have helped me alot.
regards

Rohan, Flysky ct6b is the cheapest radio, Even it was my first choice for my first build - But many senior members here advised me to get a FS-T6, As it's easier to use for beginners, They say it's not only the on board programming options. So spend a 1000more bucks and get a FS-T6.
Thanks to Arun.sreelakam for helping me with a cheap used radio (FS-T6).

you can also consider getting a used one, Smiley

2400 is not a bad price for new ct6b.
And motor+ESC at 1300 is also good.

What abt ur frame?

You are not overcharged for any of these things, Although buying directly from china through Ebay may have reduced total up to 1000Rs, You have to wait a month to get everything delivered.......Happy flying.  Smiley
