[Quadcopter]Been a while...

The last few weeks I’ve been scouring the rcgroups.com forum, which has anything RC(remote control) related, for information on building a quadcopter.

I’ve come up with this design, and just recently ordered it:
Turnigy Nano-Tech 4000mah 35-70C LiCo
Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 5A Balancer/Charger
KDA 20-22l 17A brushless motors
11x4.7 CW+CCW props
Turnigy 25A Plush ESCs
Custom CF(carbon fiber) 1000mm frame
Turnigy 9X 9ch 2.4ghz transmitter and receiver
MinIMU9--Gyro, Accelerometer, and Compass
LED strips, wiring, small bolts, heat shrink, small 480p camera

Its more of a weight lifting quad, but it should be able to do some flips/3D tricks. It all came from hobbyking.com except for the sensors and the props, which came from quadroufo.com and pololu.com, respectively.

Here are buddy codes so that you can get some of the products i bought for cheaper:
Socket Head Bolt 4x20mm (10 pack), Socket Head Bolt 4x16mm (10 pack), 30min epoxy, 300x100mm 1.5mm CF sheet, Turnigy Plush 25Amp ESC, KDA 20-22l
all found here: RC International
