Works very nicely! Or, of course, you can just solder up a wire harness. Be creative.

John,

I use the barrier strips all of the time for my quadrarotor power bus. I know that they add extra weight, but they go together with only crippers and a screw driver. I do not skimp on the power cables. I use 4 mm from the battery to the power strip barriers and 3 mm to the ESCs.

Regards,
TCIII

Sure, you can solder all power cables together and connect then to battery. Power PCB just helps doing those things and also gives possibility to expand functionality in future.

We should start to have our new power pcbs during next week..

I have planned to do also wireharness for ArduCopter use but it will be available after kit production is running properly.
