Default x230 Mini Quadcopter

Hi,

I am building the [link=http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__26587__X230_Mini_Quadcopter_Combo_w_Motors_ESCs_ Propellers_.html]x230 Mini Quadcopter[/link] sold at Hobby King as a combo kit without FC and receiver. The model is also sold at [link=http://www.xheli.com/quadcopters.html]Xheli[/link] as a frame only or kit with various FCs like the older KK board (without LCD and ACCs) or the MWC board. My plan is to use the KK2 board with LCD.

Xheli also sells the [link=http://www.xheli.com/09h007-02-motor.html]CRY6-170 2222/1800KV[/link] motors and [link=http://www.xheli.com/09h005-04-esc.html]ZTW 12-amp[/link] Programmable Brushless ESCs.

For a starter kit, the $80 version at HK is a better value than the $122 equivalent parts at Xheli. That being said, I have ordered some spares at Xheli and had great service!

Spare GWS 5x3 3-blade props can be purchased from [link=http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/index.php?cPath=46_61&osCsid=23b555d4b4f2f520d35c2 42b862b592a]Innov8tiveDesigns.com[/link].
