looking for someone to look over our parts list for a project due in 3 weeks! FYI we've ordered everything on this list already...but still we'd need some help!
We tried to find arducopter hexacopter kit but could not find any (sold out or in Europe). So our last resort was to buy parts separately, due to our deadline. I'm sure we are missing some connectors and parts, etc. any help is appreciated!
Note: we've been lurking on a lot of forums and I know everyone recommends a quadcopter as a first drone build but please don't tell us to build a quadcopter!
- 1 x DJI F550 ARF Kit (w/ 6 escs 15A, 6 motors 920kV, 6 9" props(?) ) https://www.amazon.com/Dji-F550-Flame-Wheel-Arf/dp/B00GEKK44W
- 1 X pixhawk controller with 3DR power module, buzzer, vibration foam (Is this only for quadcopters? i only see 4 connector cables) https://www.amazon.com/3DR-PX4-KIT-0011-Robotics-Pixhawk-Autopilot/dp/B00JPRS5Y2
- 1x telemetry kit https://www.amazon.com/YKS-Telemetry-915Mhz-Pixhawk-Quadcopter/dp/B0196LF6PW/ref=pd_bxgy_421_img_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4VMYHFQ00CWNEF9DWY0H

- 1x landing gear
- 1x lipo battery 3S 11.1V 5000mAh 30C XT60 Plug FPWP8100 http://www.rcplanet.com/flight-power-lipo-drone-3s-111v-5000mah-30c-xt60-plug-fpwp8100_p/fpwp8100.htm?codesf=4490521148&gclid=CjwKEAjw8da8BRDssvyH8uPEgnoSJABJmwYoSnw4bTsZ6Qkqrf1TxTGQveVSPJMDdq9l4w4CZSRaphoCuPTw_wcB
Please check our understanding:
- the DJI has the power distribution board built in on the frame --> no need to buy PDB + connectors
- no need for BEC with the pixhawk
- no need to install a custom mount for the pixhawk on the dji frame
- what battery charger do you recommend for us?Thanks in advance!!!
