Guide notes
Define your requirements
Record the location, indoor or outdoor use, filming needs, portability and total budget. Include the radio, goggles, charger, batteries, spare propellers and repair parts. Practise in a simulator before flying.
Check physical and electrical interfaces
Start with propeller clearance, FC mounting pattern and camera width. Check motor mounting, shaft size, recommended battery and propeller, ESC input voltage, BEC capacity, VTX supply and available UARTs. Use each exact model's manual.
Create a purchase checklist
Record the model, hardware revision, supply voltage, dimensions, connectors and official manual for every component. Ask the supplier about unknown specifications before buying. Similar connectors do not guarantee identical pinouts.
Prepare for assembly
Collect wiring diagrams, a multimeter, soldering equipment, insulation and suitable current limiting. Plan cables, antennas, the capacitor and battery mounting before cutting wires or choosing screws.

Simulator: hovering and basic flight paths
Connect the radio with a data cable and select USB joystick mode. Assign throttle, roll, pitch and yaw, verify direction and calibrate. Begin with one practice aircraft and stable graphics settings.
