Default JR 8711's w/out Power Expander

I was just wondering if anyone has set up a 50cc sized plane with 5 JR 8711's and no power expander?

I know it may be viewed as unnecessary, but I've read the JR 8711's are power hungry and I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with them and only using two or three power inputs into the RX.

No problem at all. I have never used a powe expander in ANY model, and have NEVER had a battery related problem. Even on much larger moddels using 11 8711s.
