    Hi!

    I've been longing for a drone for long and finally decided to buy a real drone! I already own multiple small toy drones and now i want to go for something bigger. I have some requirements, as decent flying time and capable of fpv with GoPro. I've got a budget of around 400 dollars maximum, is it possible to build a decent drone with this budget? If so, you could anyone help me find commonly used and good parts? Preferably from hobbyking and their EU warehouse since I live in Sweden. I've been looking at hobbyking myself but it's just a complete jungle...

    Thanks for any help
    Joel

    I don't think you can build something which is anywhere near as good as what you can buy.
    Building is mostly for the learning aspect.
    If you are stuck on using the GoPro, you can find a good deal on (for example) the Yuneec Q500 G model. But to have proper FPV it will end up costing you more - and you still will not have features like camera control (settings, video/photo, etc.)
    We have a list of some of the better models in various price categories here:
