Looks good. These props are often way out of balance, so it might be an idea to get a prop balancer and balance them by adding some tape at the back side of the lightest blades. Those BEC eliminators is not really needed for these ESC's, as they can be all connected directly to the controller without any problem.

By arming at low stick, I mean that they play the tune, and are able to start the motor afterwards if stick is moved forward.

Here is the link to the KK manual:

rcexplorer.se/page14/kkguide/kkguide/quad.html

It is a lot easier to follow that the HK manual.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

Use the collet mount system. You have to buy a pkt of the size that fits your shaft and they clamp on with a grub screw. (Ouch!)
Don't use the HK prop-savers with the rubber ring retainers as the rubber rings break overnight all on their own and you do not want that happening while flying. Good idea for winged aircraft but not for quads.

Oh dear - nothing in stock for 3.1 mm shafts at present.

With shopping at this site you need to match up props/collets/motors at time of purchase or risk not being able to match things up later.

You even have to consider spare motors - especially when buying 4 as they can go out of stock for months which is very inconvenient if you strike a dud one which often happens when buying multiples.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.
