I think I'm finally ready to purchase the equipment I need for my first hex rotor but I'd like to run it by you all before I take the plunge and purchase everything. Here's what I have planned:
DR ArduCopter Hexa-B Frame + Motors + Full Flight Electronics Kit:
- ArduPilot Mega 2.5
- Mediatek GPS module
- XT60 power module connector
- APC Propeller set 10X47 spf style
- 850 kV motor, AC2830-358
I'm also getting:
- Turnigy 5000mAh 3S 30C Lipo Pack (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9515__Turnigy_5000mAh_3S_30C_Lipo_Pack.html)
Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger w/ accessories http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_accessories.html
- Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter w/ Module & 8ch Receiver (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8992__Turnigy_9X_9Ch_Transmitter_w_Module_8ch_Receiver_Mode_2_v2_Firmware_.html)
Is there anything I'm missing? Does this list look good? I should say that I plan on putting a camera on there at some point for some first-person flying.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

You might consider the Turnigy 9XR with the FrSky module and receiver instead of the Turnigy 9X. I'd also second the telemetry radio from 3D Robotics. Also a low voltage alarm for the LiPo if you don't plan on having any kind of telemetry to warn you.
