Id prob go the route of a go pro for the time being and I like the idea of gps and its benefits.

Also why do you need 8 or 9 channels but 4 will suffice for the time being.

Thanks

Hi Col,

I found it difficult to find the right information needed to build mine from Hobbyking parts, which is one of the reasons why i went the DJI Naza route. there is lots of info out there on quads, but so much to trawl though, it was difficult to get to the information quickly. The other Col may be able to give you some pointers, as he went down that route and ordered from hobbyking?

I used google and looked at a lot of youtube videos. really useful for seeing what works.

4 channels will give you the basic 4 controls. it won't allow you to use a selector switch to select different modes, remotely adjust gains, or control the camera gymbal however, but you can fly if that's what you have.
