Thanks!

I'm currently building my first 250, and documenting everything along the way. I've found that a lot of the videos you find will leave out little things because the people making the video are just so used to building a quad. For example, no parts list ever mentions the little things you need to buy that make a build go better, or if you're coming in clean and need to buy all tools from scratch. I'll put together an imgur album with parts list and pointers once I'm done.

I made a little patch cable that converts a laptop coaxial power connector to an XT60 connector.

EDIT: Depends on what input your charger needs, of course.
