Nice work Rupi!
I can't wait to join you. Cost wise I cant see why you wouldn't do an hv setup on these birds, you don't need that high of a C rating, so a comparable 4s-6s pack should cost around the same as a high c 3s pack As my Mars is with a 3S 2200mah lipo, Ice 50 and 300Kv motor on 12T pinion, I can get at least an 8 min flight if it's just hovering around.

Yes, I finally received my castle link in the mail today. This thing is half the length of my little finger. They really could have included it in the ESC packaging. Oh well, I'm going to set this thing up now.

As soon as I get my hands on a camera (should be next week or so). Castle Creations' website should have a picture of it though.

I'll be buying some 4S packs for the Mars, should be here by the end of next month. It's currently cheaper for me to fool around on the Mars than with my Poseidon. The latter needs a full set of servos, gyro, ESC, receiver, motor and batteries.

Cool, I understand. My 3S packs were at 250 cycles and I had to through them out. I have 2 packs left, a new KP 3s 2200 and an old turnigy 2200 at approx 275 that is giving up the ghost.

4S Mars, ICE 50
Here is my soon to be(After repairs) 4S Mars with the ICE 50 esc.
It fits perfectly under the beak, and the motor phase wires can be coiled neatly in that space too. Also there's a picture of the castle link and its packaging next to the ICE 50's packaging. I still can't understand why they couldn't package such a small thing with the ESC. Still, it is a fantastic ESC and editing the settings with the pc software is a breeze. I have to see if the link and software will work on my main linux machine though.

Well guys, I bought a KP 4S pack from Mars 480. I'll have it when I travel back to the states on Sunday. However, I don't think I'l be able to try it out till maybe close to the end of the month as i'll be busy moving to the Netherlands.
