A few months ago I got started in the hobby of RC multi rotors and specifically quad copters.

My first quad was based on a 3d printed design downloaded from thingiverse and modified through several iterations.

This quad is big and heavy and gives me about 5 minutes flight time from a 2200mah lipo pack so I decided to go for something smaller and more manoeuvrable with the ability to easily add FPV gear to it.

To meet these goals I’ve decided to build a small 250 H quad based on a carbon fibre frame from Banggood so let’s get to it.

Parts List:

Frame – Banggood ZMR250 carbon fibre alternative Banggood ZMR250 glass fibre

Motors, Esc’s & Props – This combo package from myrcmart.com but any similar sized motor, esc etc… can be used

RC Receiver – Any suitable 6 channel receiver that matches your TX

Battery – 1400mah + I’m using these from hobbyking

Flight Controller – At the moment I’m going to use the FC from my other quad which is a Multiwii Pro 2.0 from witespyquads but I intend to eventually put one of their Flip 32+ FC’s on this quad which is equivalent to a Full Naze 32

That’s all for now hopefully the frame will be delivered this week and I can get that build and take some pictures whilst waiting for the other parts to be delivered.

 Frame arrived today.
