The level of interest in building a Quad has increased dramatically in the past few years. For

beginners to the hobby, putting together the first Quad parts list can be extremely confusing,

especially for people who don’t come from a background in radio controlled planes or helicopters.

But remember: A) It’s a hobby; B) This should be fun; C) You’re a beginner and you’re learning…few

fails will happen anyway.

Building or buying are nice attitudes and they complement each other! The best way to learn how

things work inside is to build one from zero. It brings a deep understanding in how to put parts

together. In the other hand, buying available ready to fly Quads from market will be a very nice

training of flying, understanding the possible movements of a Quad. Some crashes are inevitable in

the learning process. There's no way to avoid them. Do not get upset, fix the propellers, mend the

pieces and go flying again!

It seems that good and reliable information is available on internet and it’s not too hard to find and

summarize them. The purpose of the next page is to provide some of the best links about the

subject. They will be very helpful to build the own Quadcopter.

Before that, take a look at some tips from the experts, people who have a strong RC background: 1)

Work in slow progression. Do not try to do too much, too fast. 2) Start to build a simple Quadcopter

or initiate buying a Ready to Fly one. See 36 different models at PDF Review Tab on

http://quadsforfun.wix.com/quadsforfun. 3) For a first Quad, do not initially try to build a video

recording (FPV) copter. They have a lot of technology inside. 4) For having a taste and lots of fun, try

the inexpensive, safe and ready to use micro Quad (see models at PDF Review Tab on

http://quadsforfun.wix.com/quadsforfun. 5) Avoid to start to build your own frame. There are

different models available to easily buy. 6) Avoid to start with a big and more dangerous multicopter.

A small and agile Quad is more fun to fly than big ones as hexacopters or octocopters.
