Hey guys.Thanks much for everything :). What you posted up Kev G. is good information that I didn't know, thanks. I finally got the 210 done with all that mess you see in the pic above :lol: Tomorrow will be my first real flight with my first put together quad, of course with outside help. I did hover the quad today to check things out. All went well.

Thanks Derek :). Like always I appreciate your help on messenger and the Hangout team advice too!. Doesn't take much to over look something so simple, for me anyway. I'm learning alot and enjoying my self doing so. Sometimes, well most of the time, it's frustrating and confusing but the end result is always a wonderful thing. Thanks again everyone!. I'm sure I'll have more question down the road. I still have the 180 to finish up :lol:

That's real good, man! Nice job! I'm proud of you for getting it set up on your own. Well done! It looks really solid.

I do have to ask.....do you have power going to your vtx? I didn't see an FPV antenna on the quad. You should be sure to have an antenna of some sort connected to the vtx to act as a heat sink. If you don't, you run the risk of burning up the vtx because it generates a lot of heat from operation.

Thank you gentlemen for the kind words :) . It's a good feeling to build your own quad, Of course with help from friends but a better sensation to see it fly :lol: Now to purchase a action camera that actually works. I ordered this one https://hobbyking.com/en_us/mobius-wide ... o-out.html
