Just the quantify my reason for going with the hobbyking frames and kk2 is simple and one reason.
Price.
Ive flown most things over the years and I gave up flying helis due to loosing my flying site many many years ago.
It was only when a mate got me involved in the fault finding and setup of his Y6 that the bug bit again.
There is no doubt that the dji frames are better quality than the clones, as well as being more flexible the clone arms I have broken have had bubbles ec where the dji ones seem to be better made.
At the time the price gap was huge when I bought, now not as much if you buy at the right place.
As for the flight controller I like the kk2 as I can mess with the settings with the display and more so I am not worried about trashing the lot if I get carried away or have a dumb thumb moment.
Plus I can play with the firmware if I desire. GPS and other naza features would be nice but are the worth the price?
With the new naza lite that is making this question a lot harder to answer. But saying that the kk2's are what £23 now.
Just about to put my homebrew fpv setup on one of the frames to give it a try.
The same mate said I couldnt do fpv on the cheap.
He was wrong.
Home made goggles made from foam, motorcross goggles and 3.5 screen with fresnel lens.
5.8ghz vtx adn vrx with either wide angle keyring camera with video out or wdr 600 line camera.
All my fpv setup cost less 1/4 of what my mate spent on his goggles.
Do the goggles look as good as his? No.
Do they work as good? Yes.
For me my adventure into multis and fpv has been done on the cheap just to see if I could.
I didnt want to get into having a fortune into a model like I did with the helis & then be mortified when it bought the big one!
As for the transmitter I was looking and looking and found a deal I couldnt refuse on a hitec aurora 9. Had there of been the hobbyking turnigy transmitters back than the choice would have been harder.
