So I started my project by researching and buying a quadcopter. hobbyking has the best selection of quadcopters and quadcopter parts. They ship from Japan, so be patient when ordering stuff as it has to go through customs. I chose to go with the Turnigy Talon II frame, with 12" propellers, a KK controller board, and four motors. I would suggest you search around their website a lot before buying anything.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
1) How much weight are you planning on trying to lift? The weight you need to lift will determine how big of motors you need. Do an estimated weight and add 20-40% to that value. That way, you will be able to not only lift the weight, but you will have some leeway in your acceleration.
2) Will the battery, electronic speed controls, and motors all work with each other? Each motor has is designed for a specific battery type and voltage. Make sure that they all work together and the amperage of the esc is correct.
3) Make sure you have the correct (and necessary) wires to connect all of the components.
