Four decisions, then it is just shopping

Everything on this page follows from these four. Make them in order and the rest of the list reads itself.

Your routeBasic FPV, or advanced autonomy. Same flight controller either way. The GPS and the airspeed sensor differ.
Your battery voltage6S or 4S. It sets the motor windings and the ESC ratings.
Your lift prop8-inch bi-blade, or 7-inch tri-blade. It sets the lift motor KV.
Your FPV systemDigital, analogue, or none at all. Two nose cones are in the kit.

01

Pick your route

Both routes share the airframe, motors, ESCs, battery, servos and radio. The difference is the avionics.

Area	Basic FPV build	Advanced autonomy build
Flight controller	H7 wing controller	H7 wing controller
GPS	One M8-class GPS	One or two M10-class GPS
Airspeed	Highly recommended	Required, DLVR sensor
RC and telemetry	ExpressLRS or Crossfire, MAVLink on	Same
FPV video	Your choice	Your choice

Bigger antennas are always better for GNSS units.

02

Pick your battery voltage

Choose once. Every motor and ESC below has a 4S answer and a 6S answer.

Build	Lift motor KV	Pusher winding	Battery
6S, the baseline the manual assumes	Lower KV, see VTOL lift propulsion	640KV	6S 4500 to 5000 mAh LiPo, or 6S2P 21700 Li-ion
4S	Higher KV, see VTOL lift propulsion	900KV	4S 6000 mAh LiPo, or 4S3P 21700 Li-ion

04

Airframe materials

Filament and carbon. Order these on day one. A full airframe takes days of printer time and the parts take about as long to arrive, so the two happen in parallel.

Filament

Filament	How much	Used for	Est. cost (USD)
Lightweight foaming filament (PLA Aero or LW-PLA)	~1 kg	Fuselage, wings, elevons, nose cone	$55
PETG	~250 g	Spar plates, mounts, hardware interfaces	$22

Starter build: PLA Aero and PETG. Basic, lighter. LW-PLA is the alternative.
Performance build: ABS-GF and PETG-CF. Engineering-grade, heavier, and it needs an enclosure.
Heat resistant build: ASA Aero and PETG. Difficult to print, light, heat resistant.

Carbon spars

Order	Cuts into	Left over	Est. cost (USD)
2 m of 8 mm pultruded	Rear fuselage spar and both wing spars	50 mm	$30
2 m of 14 mm woven	Front fuselage spar and both VTOL spars	760 mm	$45
1 m of 6 mm pultruded	Both elevon spars	300 mm	$20

05

VTOL lift propulsion

Lift ESC

Class: One 4-in-1 ESC, 45 A or more per channel, 32-bit firmware (BLHeli_32 or AM32) so DShot300 and ESC telemetry work.
Variants: The board must be rated for your battery. All four below cover 6S, two go to 8S.
Branded offerings: TBS Lucid 60A 4-in-1 AM32 (3 to 8S, our pick), T-Motor F60A Mini 4-in-1 AM32 (3 to 8S), Hobbywing XRotor Micro 60A 4-in-1 BLHeli_32 (3 to 6S), iFlight BLITZ E55 4-in-1 BLHeli_32 (2 to 6S).

Lift propellers

Class: 8-inch bi-blade with the baseline motors, or 7-inch tri-blade with the higher-KV motors.
Branded offerings: 8-inch: Gemfan F8041 folding 2-blade (8041F-2), HQProp 8x5 bi-blade. 7-inch: Gemfan Hurricane 7043 3-blade.

Buy a matched CW and CCW set, plus at least one spare set. Folding blades trail back once the lift motors stop in forward flight, which cuts drag.

06

Pusher propulsion

One motor, one ESC, one propeller, and a spare propeller.

Pusher motor

Class: 3115-class brushless, one.
Variants: 640KV for 6S builds, 900KV for 4S builds. Both swing the same 12x8 prop.
Branded offerings: T-Motor VELOX V3115 (640KV and 900KV), BrotherHobby Tornado T5 3115 Pro (640KV and 900KV), EMAX ECO II 3115 (640KV, rated 6S and up, so 6S builds only).

Pusher ESC

Class: One single ESC, 50 A continuous or more, rated for your battery voltage. PWM is fine here. The pusher does not need DShot.
Branded offerings: TBS Lucid 90A single AM32 (3 to 12S, 70 A continuous, our pick), Hobbywing Skywalker 60A V2 (2 to 6S), Hobbywing Skywalker 50A V2 Plus (3 to 6S), T-Motor AT 55A (2 to 6S).

Pusher propeller

Class: APC 12x8 Thin Electric. The balanced all-rounder for this airframe.
Variants: 12x8E (standard rotation) or 12x8EP (pusher rotation). Pick the one that matches the direction your motor will turn. Buy a spare.

07

Battery and connector

One flight pack, and the one connection that can destroy everything downstream.

Class: One flight pack, 50 A continuous discharge or more, XT60 connector.

Build	LiPo	21700 Li-ion
6S	6S 4500 to 5000 mAh	up to 6S2P 21700 pack

Branded offerings: LiPo from CNHL, Tattu or GNB in the sizes above. Li-ion packs built from Molicel P45B or Samsung 40T cells.

08

Elevon servos and linkage

Two servos, one per elevon, and the rods that connect them.

Class: Two 9 g or 12 g metal-gear servos, one per elevon. The servo bay fits both sizes.
Branded offerings: EMAX ES08MD II (12 g, digital, our pick), EMAX ES08MA II (12 g, analogue), JX PDI-1109MG (9 to 10 g, digital), Corona DS-929MG (12.5 g, digital).
Linkage: One adjustable pushrod and linkage-stopper set. Use the arms supplied with the servo and a control horn of your choice, bought or printed. The manual, step 4.3, shows the fitting.

09

Avionics

The flight controller, what it needs to know where it is, and the link that carries both control and telemetry.

Flight controller

Class: A wing-style controller with onboard power regulation, so no separate BEC and no power distribution board. It needs four outputs in one DShot-capable group for the lift motors, and three more for the pusher and servos. DShot is highly recommended but not mandatory. PWM can also work for lift motors.
Variants: H7 wing controller, one family, for both routes.
Branded offerings: iFlight BLITZ Wing H743, Holybro Kakute H743-Wing, TBS Lucid H7 Wing, MicoAir743 V2.

Branded offerings: MS4525: Matek ASPD-4525, Holybro Digital Airspeed Sensor (MS4525DO version). DLVR: Matek ASPD-DLVR (I2C and CAN), Holybro High Precision DroneCAN Airspeed Sensor (DLVR).

RC receiver and telemetry

Class: One receiver in the ecosystem your transmitter speaks, set up to carry MAVLink telemetry as well as control. One link, both jobs.
Variants: ExpressLRS (2.4 GHz or 900 MHz), or TBS Crossfire (900 MHz).
Branded offerings: ExpressLRS: RadioMaster XR1 Nano (dual-band version), RadioMaster RP4TD (2.4 GHz true diversity), HappyModel EP2. Crossfire: TBS Crossfire Nano RX Pro.

10

FPV video

Optional, and the nose is built to take more than one answer.

Class: Any camera and video transmitter that fit the nose cone. Two nose cones are in the kit, for 15 mm and 21 mm cameras, plus a STEP file if yours is neither.
Branded offerings: Digital: DJI O3 Air Unit (camera 20 mm wide), DJI O4 Air Unit Pro (camera 20 mm wide), DJI O4 Air Unit (camera 12.4 mm wide). Analogue: any 19 mm micro camera with a 5.8 GHz video transmitter, for builders who want maximum range.

Before you order

Nine things worth checking twice. Every one of them is a mistake somebody has already made.

All four lift motors are one model and one KV
Lift ESC is rated for your battery voltage, 45 A or more per channel
Pusher winding matches the battery: 640KV on 6S, 900KV on 4S
Pusher ESC is rated for your voltage. Skywalker 50A on 6S means the V2 Plus, not the V2
Pusher prop, E or EP, matches the motor direction you will set. Direction can be reversed
Receiver matches your transmitter, and both run MAVLink-capable firmware
Advanced route: the DLVR airspeed sensor is in the basket
Anything end-of-life (Matek WING boards, SpeedyBee 2807) is actually in stock where you live
Battery delivers 50 A continuous, with an XT60

The list is free. The aircraft is the kit.

This page tells you what to buy. The kit tells you what to do with it: the full STL pack, the assembly manual, the print profile and a starter ArduPilot configuration, in your hangar for good.
