First custom 5" build

Pretty new to this hobby, have two already made fpvs (meteor75pro and geprc tern lr40), but to advance further want to create something of my own, so looking to build 5" freestyle analog fpv (currently have only analog setup, so going into hd is too much).

Thinking of ~300€ budget and hoping to construct something pretty sturdy, reliable and future proof (hopefully will switch to HD in the future).

So there is a part list i'm thinking of (sourced from Ali/Banggood)

  • Frame: SoloGood APEX EVO Frame Kit ~30€ (cheaper ImpulseRC Apex clone)
  • Motors: Emax ECO II 2306 1900KV ~55€
  • Props: Gemfan Hurricane 51466 MCK V2 ~5€
  • Stack: GEPRC Taker F722+60A ESC ~60€
  • VTX: Rush Tank III Ultimate ~33€
  • Antenna: FlyfishRC Osprey ~8€
  • Camera: Caddx Ratel 2 ~28€
  • Receiver: RadioMaster RP3 ELRS 2.4GHz ~20€
  • GPS: RushFPV GNSS Mini M10 ~13€
  • Buzzer: JHE42B 110DBI Finder Buzzer ~9€

Total: ~261€ + any unexpected expenses

I'd like some critiques, maybe some parts aren't friendly with other, something doesn't fit and so on.

Not a pro in soldering, but have a little experience and everything already sourced. Even have a 3d printer, so additional bumpers, camera mounts and etc. isn't a big problem.
