OFM Seeker-450 V2 Quadcopter (Build it yourself PnP Kit)

In Multirotors field, the best multirotor is the one that you know from inside out. And to do so you have to build it yourself. Building a multirotor from scratch will give you total insight about the working of the machine. Building a multirotor for your FPV or non FPV, Aerial filming or just for joy flights has many benefits. for instance

• You will love the building process and understand your machine and its working 100%
• It will teach you a lot about building, setup, programming and repairing multirotors
• Once you have built one successfully, later on you can even take bigger and better multirotor projects to build.
• The knowledge of building a multirotor is also going to help you further in flying and tweaking your machine for bestest flight performance suiting your flight style and purpose
• You can also study and upgrade your machine easily without having to ask anyone for help
• You will feel more proud and joy to fly something that you built yourself.
• And of course, biggest of all you will save lots of cash in every way.

Alright then, you are almost convinced, but then a thought hits you. What about Soldering, I ain’t got any skills or even a solder gun, I ain’t got any proper tools either and I have never built a multirotor before. ok lets forget it, and go for RTF Machine by paying a bit more for it.

yes above ideas and similar are something that make many people buy RTF machines. However remember, anything that flies and flown by beginners is bound to crash. Now imagine crashing your RTF machine and you are sitting there pulling your hair. Why? Because…

• You do not know what caused the crash
• You do not understand how to repair your machine. You have no experience in building. you bought it RTF
• You do not know what to order and where to order, to repair your machine and make it fly again
• and could be more reasons there

So basically you are stuck. Think, if you had built this multirotor yourself, you will be

• able to find out the cause of crashing
• able to order the right parts
• able to repair it instantly and get it back in the air
• able to upgrade your machine maybe and set it up even better
