Just a heads up to people buying the KH250 kit from readytoflyquads.com - if you go for the bullet connector option as part of the kit you should note that it contains 12 pairs of connectors, but you actually need 20 pairs to follow the instructions in the podcast.  Unless you're dead on with your measurements you'll need a bit more heat shrink tubing as well.

What I suggest... and remember that I'm kinda addicted to MRs right now, is that you just order a BUNCH from Amazon. A bag of 40 (20 x male, 20 x female) will cost $3.43 with free shipping. I ordered 10 bags last year and I'm still using that supply. Sure, it will take some time because it's shipping from China, but I've got time. :)

Same thing with the heatshrink tubing and the wire. Buy in bulk from China and have it ready for when you want to build. You'll end up saving a bunch of cash in the long run.

I soldered the bullets on the motor wires last night and realized I was going to be short and since this build was to be the major project for this weekend I ended up placing a $$aturday delivery order with Amazon to save my plans.  So not the end of the world, but I wanted others to know so they can be prepared.

i was just about to ask which one of these to order, i realized i had failed to order these, guess my build is on hold

What you get from RTFQ.com for mounting the power and Flip board isn't the same as what the podcast uses.  I ordered a package of standoffs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LGB2N1Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01  and also had to supply four 12mm (I think) M3 screws to do it the way the podcast did it.  Fortunately I already had the screws.

This is the heat shrink tubing assortment I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KW5KJWW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
