Custom Mini hex build log (multirotor)

D.A. · March 17, 2015

This multirotor will fly circles around any pre-built aswell as be able to hold 2 cameras and having tons of options for upgrades. I do not recommend this build for your first build unless you are willing to go slow and make mistakes. If you would like a good first build part list let me know.

If you have never flown a multirotor before I highly recommend getting this cheap pre-built it's $30 bucks and worth every cent if you are learning how to fly.
