Here is the list of parts I ordered this time around to get to the point I can have a functional aircraft to work with. All will probably be here Thursday or Friday. This is the last two weeks of the school semester so I may have to wait to assemble for a few days, but at least I will have the parts all in one place. I will likely buy smaller batteries and a better charger where I can control the level of charge they get. Ideally I need the voltage of the power supply and batteries to be the same if not the batteries slightly lower so that the draw only comes from them in the event the power supply limits are exceeded or a sudden burst of current is required for some reason. This is similar to how an alternator powers a car at all times and the battery just stays charged in the loop until it is needed. I will need a way to tell in telemetry whenever the battery power is being used versus the onboard power supply.
