Sooo... I've been flying for about 8 mos. Started with a Tinyhawk II, graduated to a TH2 Freestyle and am considering starting a 5" build.
I want to build it myself, but I kinda like the idea of a DIY build with the components already chosen for me to simplify things for my first go-round. I chose the Badger 5 DIY kit.
Badger 5 DIY kit
I'll stick with analog for now, but I'd probably convert to digital eventually when I'm ready to spring for digital goggles.
My questions for those with more experience: )
#1. Are there any objections to this as a first build choice?
#2. KV option are:
1700kv for 6s
1900kv for 5s
2400kv for 4s
I'd characterize my flying style as more "flow"-sh I guess and less "grit"? And not interested in racing or aggressive aerobatics (I'm in awe of Mr. Steele's flying skills, but it gives me a headache. haha!)
What factors would determine the best KV choice? I've watched tons of Youtube videos trying to figure out why you'd choose one over the others but I can't figure it out?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
