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. | |

I fly with dual recievers, 1 battery to each reciever, 2 switches, 2 regs, 2 8611's per surface except rudder which has 3 servos and on the SWB self adjusting servo tray. Works perfect.
