Default Question on my set-up

Im new to giant scale planes and after reading about different battery set-ups im starting to question my batteries for the plane I bought. I just recently bought a 88" EF yak and im putting 5955s all around. So I guess what my question is will 2 6v 1950's FAUP batteries going into a Wolvirine switch with 2 JR outputs to my Specktrum AR7000 rx be enough for the servos? I started reading about the different set ups out there that it just had me second guessing my set up before I even got it into the air. Thanks for any help!

More than enough, your transmitter will be beeping low power before your plane will be low. 5955s are not as power hungry as one would think and you are not running 14 of them like I do on my 40%er's. On my 50cc birds I just run one 4400mah on the receiver and one 2200 on the ignition and I can fly a whole weekend without having to charge it.

1950 Faup battery is an excellent battery, you are fine, that setup is excellent and if I had to go nickle batteries I would use your exact setup. two FAUP:1950s can provide alot of power. more than you need. They are low impedence packs...press on... good power versus weight for nicklels
