While standing there on the Joe Nall main flight line looking at Bill Hempel's cub and Snap's Extra, it made sense to me to have each surface powered and regulated independantly from the rest of the plane.

Kiwi, why don't you go one step further and have a dedicated battery, located right next to the regulater/expander, for each wing, stab and the rudder? Take it even further: each power distribution center for each surface could have its own receiver as well!

These huge planes require some non-traditional thought. I'm excited about your project. Keep the updates coming.
