Lengths of 10mm x 10mm aluminium square section Some gaffer tape (also known as Duck Tape or fibre reinforced tape) A handful of M3 screws and nuts A few cable ties Decent glue (e.g. Super Glue, Epoxy or Gorilla Glue seems good) A KK quadcopter controller PCB (Lots online) The radio control parts Minimum 4-Channel RC transmitter and receiver (6 channels is much better) 4 x motors (I used 1000KV type) 4 x 30A ESC speed controllers 4 x Propeller and shaft spinners 1 x LiPo RC battery (mine was 3000 mAHr @ 11.1v) Battery connectors Some heavy duty wire to carry the battery current Screw connectors for said wire 4 x Servo extension cables Radio receiver module Basic hand tools Some common sense Take care not to fit screws or sharp parts where they could puncture your LiPo battery. Ensure that all wires are routed so that they cannot get caught in the motors or propellers. Take care when setting up motors and follow the usual safety instructions for setting up a multirotor aircraft. If you have never done this before, do some research first.
