shaun413
this even worth it
Phlarp_
best starter kit out there for a 250 IMO
shaun413
why not a scratch build?
Phlarp_
shrug
wot
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Phlarp_
I did
Obsdark has quit
shaun413
are these the kiss esc
Phlarp_
but I ended up with basically the same setup as this kit
no
this comes with standard 500hz simonk
they will work, but kiss is much better-- personally now that I've flown with KISS I just laugh at all the rest.
shaun413
well
its too much'
Phlarp_
If the distinction between a 14 dollar bargain ESC and a 26 dollar performance ESC is too rich for you, I suggest you run far away from this hobby now
shaun413
no
it is mulitplied by 4
Phlarp_
no matter what you build or do, expect to crash and need to replace things
shaun413
thats 40 dollars more
Phlarp_
sigh
You're going to fry motors and boards and crash and bend things and need replacements-- if nothing else props alone are going to be a recurring $40 expense per X hours flown.
shaun413
yes
props are cheap
Phlarp_
they add up though
shaun413
over time
Phlarp_
and since you seem sensitive to price
shaun413
40 dollars saved now can go to props
:)
Phlarp_
look at it like this-- maybe $40 more on speed controllers now means you crash less often due to being able to recover and manuever better-- that'll save you way more in props and bent/burned motors in the long run
and arduino nano is cheaper than a CC3D, why don't you buy one of those and flash it with flight control software?
shaun413
i can get a cc3d for 15
Phlarp_
answer: because it will fly like a drunken fifth grader and you will have no fun
your time and effort would be better spent increasing your income to the point where you don't have to distinguish between these things.
I know it's a dick thing to say, but most of the people you see doing interesting things with these quads have a level of disposable income that makes even the most expensive components a rounding error~
shaun413
well thats in the works
im in college
Phlarp_
I think I could build a profitable side business in the amount of time you spend window shopping in this channel.
graduate and pay off debt before you dive into expensive hobbies.
shaun413
no debt
Phlarp_
that'll help
shaun413
yes
i have money
its just limited
Phlarp_
I imagine planes are easier and cheaper to get in the air. 1/4th the power train and foam bodies.
shaun413
this much ios true
is
quads are cool
im getting a taranis for it
Phlarp_
....
I love my taranis
shaun413
yes
Phlarp_
but if I was price sensitive
shaun413
is it good for planes too?
no thats a gift its fine
Phlarp_
the KISSes are still way more value than the difference between a 9xr and a taranis
shaun413
i would never get a 9xr
looks like abs shit
the looks that is
Phlarp_
the taranis is cheap plastic too
shaun413
how cheap
Phlarp_
just as cheap as the 9xr
shaun413
compared to a dx6i
its all plastic..
even high end
Phlarp_
I have a DX5i and yea
they are all plastic
shaun413
hows it compare
to the 5i
Phlarp_
I vastly prefer the taranis
but again
if I was price sensitive
shaun413
in build quality
i mean
Phlarp_
I would take the 5Xi and kisses any day
they are all plastic dude
shaun413
right
Phlarp_
they are all shitty cheap plastic, they will break if you drop them, they will strip out if you tighten screws to far
be careful with them
the differences are in software
shaun413
ofc
even a futaba is plastic
Phlarp_
as are the devos, and every other brand I've ever seen
same with goggles
shaun413
so whats the issue
Phlarp_
nothing
price and feature sets
shaun413
plastic is pretty durable
Phlarp_
taranis would be one of the more premium controlelrs in my mind-- again if you are price sensitive the 9xr is "standard advice"
shaun413
ok thanks
wont help me though
maybe i should just make planes
?
