Today Completed assembly of quad copter motor and structure. It almost took 4 year to assemble it, i had purchased motors,props,battery,videotx in 2010-2011  :giggle: and purchased frame, controller last year.

My original plan was do everything DIY; frame, ECS, controller, radio everything but it never happen like that way. There is lot other things which you have to give time. It was like almost 2 years of in active period but just picking up again recently. Still not plugged in controller as i am still in search of radio transmitter. ;D.

Still not completed the electronics, Hopefully it will start flying in next couple of months.

True, this hobby needs lot of patience.
Also I see that you haven't covered your motor-esc connectors with heatshrink. If you have left it for later, then it cool otherwise you can kiss your esc's goodbye if they come in contact while powered. Lost an esc because of the same silly mistake.

Shrink tubes are available on numerous websites right now. You can place an order.
Please avoid using electrical insulation tapes or something of that sort.
