Good article, some of it's out of date already but still a really good piece of info if you want to build your own. I'd suggest just getting a ready-to-fly model first to practice on (husban x4 like). Then watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Q2KdhtmFA Stu has some great ideas on how to get into the hobby for pretty cheap. Watch out on that x220 wizard, the FPV camera is crap and will be your first upgrade. :)
