My FIRST quad build

Hi, I recently ordered a complete parts list from HK(except the radio and the battery due to customs).
So, This build is kinda nice one. I am waiting for my stuff to arrive.
Quads are really cool. I am a school student and started RC only because of quadcopters!
Quadcopters- Sound really cool? uhuh? 
Yes it should! Quad- means 4 & Copter- means motor(rotor).

Lets start with the parts list-


You can go with my parts list or modify according to yours.But this build is great!

Motors, Frame & Props-

Motors should be chosen after calculating and visualizing your quad's weight. I choose a kit which includes frame,motors,and props.
So here it is-

Motors look cool

 complete parts you get in the kit.

1x #031000132/28592 ST360 Quadcopter Frame w/Motors and Propellers 360mm = $37.99                        

ESC-

I choose a bit higher amp ESCs so that I could use the same ESCs in future with better motors. So here they are-
Turnigy Plush 25A
4x #TR_P25A/2163 TURNIGY Plush 25amp Speed Controller = $47.08 


Flight Controller-

Simply, I choose KK2.0 without any trouble. Multiwii is good too and upgradable but ain't userfriendly and easy for a beginner! So kk2.0 from Hk.

KK2.0 From Hobbyking.com

Transmitter-

I choose the 9xR because it is new in the market is is good priced. It also has great look ;)

Extras-
You need connectors, power distribution board( You can easily build one on your own),wires,etc.

Till then watch these for guides-
