Title: Stuffs to buy from the US
Post by: chindichor on June 28, 2014, 01:09:54 AM
My brother is coming to India from the US. I was wondering if I could ask him some stuffs to buy from there that is either not available in India or have some cost effectiveness.

I was planning to build a quadcopter. Unfortunately, I have no prior experience with quads. So, can someone suggest me stuffs that might be useful for this build to ask him to get for me?

I was thinking to build an autopilot sort of thing, but Pixhawk (https://store.3drobotics.com/products/3dr-pixhawk) seems beyond what I can pay for.

Thanks in advance.

To me radios, lipos and lipo chargers (accucel 6 available but little pricy everywhere) are what is missing vast choice in LHS.
Will suggest you to buy dt 750 motors if your quad would weigh above 1kg. Thats a great performance motor.

@chindichor: My friend imported Pixhawk from USA few months back and it works like Dji naza, awesome stability and accurate GPS.  :hatsoff:

@Vijai: I have radio, lipo and charger. Motor is a good idea.
@Nithinraj: I would love to own a Pixhawk. But it is so damn expensive. INR 17.5K. So, I am planning not get it this time.
