Default New plane setup

Hi.

I am setting up a new plane with a new JR X9303 2.4ghz radio w/R921 Rx, and I have a cople quick qestions about what power setup to use.

The airplane will be using 4 Hitec 5985 servos on the ailerons, 2 HS5985's on the elevator halves, a HS5955 on the rudder, and a HS625 for the throttle.

For power I was planning on using the same setup that I have in my 30% Yak since I have the stuff sitting on the shelf, and this has worked fine for me the past 3 years in my yak. The only difference now is that I will have 2 more 5985 servos and I will be using JR 2.4ghz equipment.

My plans are to use 2 fromeco 2600mah Li0Ions, 2 HD switches, SF Batshare, and SF adjustable regulator(Yellow heatshrink version).

Will this setup be ok on my new ultimate using the servos that I described or do I need something better? I quess that my main concer is if the regulator will hold up to the power demands of the servos that I am using. I know it worked fine on my 30% Yak, but that had 2 less servos and was using a PCM Rx, not the 2.4 that I plan on using now.

Also, what would be the best way of using 2 regulators with the batshare since I have a few on hand and is an option if needed.

I would really like this to work with what I already have, and would prefer to not buy more equipment if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance.

Chris
