I recently downsized from my 450 quad<\/a>\u00a0to a ZMR 250 unit. \u00a0 \"Quad250_1\"<\/a>The purpose of this post is not so much of a step-by-step but rather a collection of tips, suggestions and lesson’s learned to help should you go down a similar avenue to build your own quad. \u00a0 There are plenty of video’s and how-to’s out there once you know what set-up you want to go with. \u00a0I will reference mine as well as others as I document this. \u00a0The purpose of this post is to chronicle my build as it evolves. Hopefully I can share some of the lessons learned, ideas and new ideas to help you with your build.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0re-purposed some bits from the 450 unit, and picked up the rest from various suppliers. \u00a0 The set-up I went with includes the\u00a0QAV250 carbon fibre<\/a> frame, Flip32+<\/a> (Naza clone) 10 DoF flight controller, FrySky TX<\/a>\/RX <\/a>CPPM Telemetry units,\u00a0Hobbywing Skywalker<\/a> 4in1 ESC controller, FatShark FPV, MicroMinim OSD and DYS 2300KV motors. This is a great combination of components.<\/p>\n

Update: July 2015: \u00a0I wanted longer range from my TX\/RX, CPPM on my receiver as well as to pass telemetry from the Flip32 through the MicroMinimOSD. \u00a0 \u00a0I replaced the FlySky receiver and transmitter with the below 2 items. \u00a0I also modified my Turnigy 9x TX with the DIY FrySky transmitter module (details further down):<\/p>\n
