I'm really satisfied with this kit. This was my first build of anything RC, and although it wasn't the breeziest thing ive ever done, it was do-able without a lot of frustration. There are numerous youtube videos that explain how to assemble these kits if you aren't sure what you're doing, so id recommend those.
The kit includes most of what i needed, but I had to buy nylon hex spacers for mounting the flight controller after the kit came because I assumed there would be some included, but there were none. There were all the screws needed (and some extra) but no spacers. There is some piece of an adapter that comes in the kit that i can only assume is a battery connector, but I opted to buy some XT60 connectors because that seems like the new standard.
Once I got it all assembled, the kit is very very sturdy. It does not feel like its going to break easy, and after 6 days of flying and probably 20 crashes, it does not seem to have any structural issues. Ive cartwheeled it in tall grass plenty of times, and while the plastic props I bought can get bent easily, the frame holds up great. I did break a small piece of it off in the back by flying backwards into a house, but even so its still very sturdy. The carbon fiber blades that come with it are good quality, and they fly much steadier than the plastic gemfans i bought, but i was able to break one pretty easily nonetheless. They hold up great for crashes, but don't let them hit anything hard like concrete because they can break more easily.
One of the downsides of this kit that i didn't like is that the holes for the motor were not drilled out enough. I had to drill all of the motor holes out more myself. Not only was it too narrow for the screw to fit, the holes weren't tall or wide enough to accommodate the screw hole patterns on the motors. Be prepared to have to drill the motor mounts. And i was able to loose the dampening camera mount easily so i'd say don't fly with it on unless you are going to use it.
Everything in the picture comes in the kit, including the two wire pieces and the two heat shrink cables. I was a little concerned that it might not come with a power distribution board because it was not listed in the description so i bought another one anyways, but i can confirm that it comes with one inside the kit. All in all, this was a great buy and im really happy with it. I mean, you can't beat the price, this has the same stuff that kits that cost 50 dollars more have.

Best Budget DIY Quadcopter Kit
I was looking for the cheapest possible way to build my first racing quadcopter and not be a waste of money in the long run. This is that kit and I am totally satisfied. This was my first full quadcopter build where I had to assemble everything, the first time I ever programmed a remote or flashed a board. The extent of my drone experience was swapping motors on micro quads after a burnout. I wanted to learn what all of the components are and how they work with each other, so the lack of instructions was not a deterrent for me. The rabit hole is deep on this subject matter and it took a while to get my bearings. I have learned a ton as desired, and have come to understand the frustration of the reviewers longing for some guidance. I will be creating a basic how to guide for beginners like me and will post it here as soon as I can.The components included are all as good as you can get for the price of this kit. I can not source them cheaper and they're exactly what I would have purchased for my first quad. Good enough to fly faster than I can control and establish if this is a hobby I want to jump into further.You need to know how to solder, and will need extra wire, shrink wrap and some nylon spacers are a good idea. I am partial to VHB double sided tape for mounting components, but zip ties and electrical tape are helpful too.You still need a radio and receiver, battery and charger as well as a camera & transmitter if fpv is desired.In the process of my buildout, I encountered a faulty flight controller. It took a while to identify the problem, but once I contacted the seller they were quick to respond and eager to resolve the problem. I'm writing this review before ever getting this airborne and giving it 5 stars because the seller stands behind their product.I will update my review with videos and an instruction set once I get some flights logged. Rest assured this is a great kit, as long as you are handy with a soldering iron.

schlechte Qualität der ESCs => Brand 2er Motoren und ESCs

Daher vermute ich, dass die schlecht verlöteten ESCs des Herstellers schuld am Brand gewesen sein müssen.
Die Kabeln waren alle bereits so verlötet, ich habe nur für die Fehlersuche die Isolierung entfernt. (siehe Bilder)
Ich hoffe, dass sich der Hersteller hier kulant zeigt und einen Austausch der Motoren + ESCs anbietet.

I had an ESC that developed a fault and the seller sent a replacement out straight away and since the new one arrived its been fine.
It handles pretty smoothly and is very quick but you will need to practise slow flying for a while to get the hang of it.
The only down side for me was no instructions came with my kit but after looking on line (youtube) all was clear.
You do need several items to get the drone flying:
Transmitter/reciever
Lipo battery/ charger
2mm bullet connectors (for ESC to motor connections)
heat shrink (to cover bullet connectors)
soldering iron and tool kit.
Libre Pilot software (free)
PC
Small USB cable to program the flight controller (i got mine with the mobius cam).
I really enjoyed building the kit and put a mobius cam on the top to record my flights.
Well done to the seller for sending a replacement ESC out with no fuss
