Spending an extra $100 on components is far cheaper than a copter ride. I would use 36 cell modules and a Morningstar PWM controller. Smaller modules are easier to package and ship. You could even supply a backup controller.</div><div>David Katz<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Apr 10, 2013, at 1:19 PM, "Dan Fink" <<a href="mailto:danbob88@gmail.com">danbob88@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Nathan; <div>I was just about to ask exactly the same question here on the Wrenches list.
