| I agree with that statement. But the way everyone is coming at me they are saying its impossible and I'm a complete idiot. They are the complete idiots for making statements like that. Agreed it can be easier with the new technology but thats all it is, easier. Its not a need to keep an airplane up in the air. The plane is not going to crash if you dont have a powerbox or matchboxes. | |

Consider another issue if you will. Our servos are drawing more and more power. I'm not sure how you set your planes up but if you don't have as many channels available as servos, you are likely using a Y. As servos get more powerful, you may start to see problems with being able to get enough current through the one connector on the single input side of the Y. I'm told the limit for a servo connector is about 3 amps. 2 8711's can draw more than this. As we are expanding the number of channels to 12 or more, this becomes a non-issue as you can run each servo through it's own channel and avoid matchboxes, Y's, and powerboxes.
I'm not saying this has been or will be an issue for you, but just something to consider as the technology advances. Guys flew 40%ers with nylon gear 100 oz servos a few years back but it doesn't mean it was the best solution.
