Appreciated...I like the Powerbox switch as its two regulators are built into the single case and it has nice safety features built in which illuminate leds on either side when it detects any issue in the system whether it be a low cell in one of the packs, one of the regulators going bad and or electrical failure on either side, so I am not willing to give those features up. My packs are connected in series using 4m bullets. I use bullets on everything. My castle 80 has been sent back for the recall, but I will check when I get it back and re-address how I am configuring it. Any of the Falcon props look nice and i am sure they are but even at $72 It would be prudent to have two as I know they are prone to tip chipping and would render a $72 display on my work bench. Then one would need to spend an additional $72 to get the backup in place again. My $15 APC performs beautifully and I simply cannot justify the Falcon cost as the performance that I need, the APC delivers. The only time I ever used CF props were with the YS140's as they did produce a little more efficiency in that setting and I justified the cost because of it. When it comes to performance I will always justify a cost. I would not consider using 4400's as it is not enough for me personally. It might be for others, but I put 3700, sometimes more back in on windy days and I am not going to sacrifice my plane or my batteries to save a few ounces. 4900 or 5000 is what I use and would not feel comfortable using anything less. The GP spinners and lightened back plate comes with the Vanquish hardware package.
