part selection help

[TyFlyer]

hey im relatively new to quadcopters and im hoping someone can help me. I've decided that its time for me to start buying parts, except im not sure what i need to buy. for my first quad i would like to keep things simple, the only thing i know for sure is that i want to use an arduino pro mini with a WM+. Eventually i would like to add a camera and maybe some other things so i know i will need to be able to carry a heavy payload. If anyone could point me in the right direction, or even share a build with me that has worked in the past, i would be very thankful.

Have you considered something small to start out with?

BlueSkyRC makes a nice mini plywood frame for $10.

Flyduino makes a cooler Carbon Frame that integrates with their NanoWii. They have a video of Warthox flying that thing like I can only wish I could do.
