Starting With Hardware
Choosing hardware is the relatively "easy" part of building a quadcopter. Looking at the flowchart on the left, we can find what components we need. I suggest not buying single parts at a time, but insead deciding on all the parts you need first and ordering them all together. This way you won't change your mind about what you want, and you can make sure everything will work together before they come.
Please go in order. There's a lot to know.
