I'm using the Lumenier 4Power PDB on my new build and as you can see by th pic, there's only a pad for the signal wire of the ESC but no ground.  So my question is, should I use signal wire only to the FC, or should I also use the ground.  And if I did, should I just connect it to the battery ground, or to a ground on the 4Power? 

I think i will connect the signal and ground wires directly to the FC and no signal wire on pdb. Imho

Agreed, it'll be s little extra wiring but it's the correct way to do it.  My main concern will be trying to make everything fit as I've got it now with the receiver de-pinned and mounted between the FC and PDB and as you can see by the pic, even with all the wiring done, it makes for a very clean looking setup.

Wow! That looks really nice!

Super clean built! Really a good job!! And great color matching.

Thanks guys! I'm just on a smoke break, but I've switched to a typical wiring layout and still able to keep all the extra wiring pretty well organized. I've also switched out the RF Revolt for a BrainFPV RE1 fc, as I couldn't get the Revolt to show up in the receiver tab. Gotta go, my soldering iron is calling..........

wow man Tell us how Stretched X flies compared to normal X
I've been tempted to try that for a while!

Looking great man!

I think I'll do a quick build thread (if I can get off my lazy ass) but probably just a few pics as JimmyLe already did an indepth review on the QAV-XS a while ago. But yes, you can tell this is a high quality frame as soon as you unpack it. Being a bottom-mounted battery, I'm pretty excited to see how it flies.
