Preparation of the Hobbyking X666 frame quadcopter build

So let's start with the

Transmitter:

I bought all quadcopter stuff at hobbyking.com from the EU-Warehouse. I already had a cheap 4 Channel Transmitter with 6 channel receiver 2.4ghz from Conrad. Transmitter Link

*offtopic_on:
The funny thing with this transmitter is that you can "hack" it and add two extra channels (by adding a two and a three way switch, soldering them to obviously predetermined spots). Maybe I will add a Tutorial on how to do this in a own post but its really really simple (as long as you own a soldering iron).

What I used:

The total price when I ordered all this was 85,32€ excluding the 2200mah 3s lipo (14€ ebay) and of course the Transmitter (50€). So if you have nothing you would get a pretty neat, also surprisingly big and powerful quadcopter for 150,00€ which is pretty cheap.
For this price you won't get a Plug and Fly model, which was the reason I did buy all the things separately to learn things "from scratch".

So now I had all the Ingredients you need to build a quadcopter! Yeah... right...
Here is a list of


What I forgot:
  • bolts and nuts to mount the motor on the mount (16pcs each). I used M2.5 countersunk Philips screws and nyloc nuts
  • gold connectors male 3.5mm (12x) for the 3 wires of the brushless motors
  • double sided Tape, Velcro and some foam to save the Controller Board from vibrations
