Yesterday I finished soldering all four ESC's. I've also secretly assembled the quad frame and attached it's motors. Behold for future pictures ;).
What's needed to get the radio running is 3.3v. It's specification specifies that it can receive 3.3-12v, which apparently isn't entirely true. Incidents according to forum posts where people have used one of the 5.5v outputs the radio have resulted in burnt circuits. Some people have recommended using a separate battery pack consisting of 6x AA batteries, which would provide 3.7v. Other than that, there is a 3.3v uBEC available from HobbyKing. I think I'll also arrange for a separate battery pack and maybe order the uBEC sometime in the future.
