Pack – ESC – motors
Current leaves the pack, splits at the 4-in-1, and becomes three-phase AC in each motor. A tap from the same pack, stepped down, feeds the flight controller and the radios.

Elements of a drone
A rigger's plate for the common FPV quad. Select a fitting on the plan or in the list. The note on the right is what that part is for - not a shopping list, a function. When you want the shopping list and the solder order, open the assembly tutorial.

How the parts talk
TX – RX – FC – ESC
Sticks become packets, packets become channel values, the mixer writes four throttles, the ESCs commute the copper. That chain has to finish many times before your hand has finished a roll.
Camera – VTX – goggles
The windscreen is optional to the mixer and mandatory to the pilot. Keep it on its own antenna and, if you can, its own power filter so motor noise does not crawl into the picture.
