Hiya guys. Was wondering if many of you are using a powerbox in your 88". Ive been running five-8711s in mine for the past year with no powerbox and no issues. Ill be setting up the new 110" EF Yak Very-soon

Hi,
I have a 86" QQ Yak and run 4x5985MG and 1 5955TG directly to a Futaba R-149DP with no issues, i think in a 50cc airplane Powerboxes are oversized. In my upcoming DA85, 36% Ultimate, i will not use a powerbox either, i will use two Futaba recievers and a powerbox gemini. The reason is mostly the weight in general and about the weight behind the CG because of the DA85. Here is a 3D CAD drawing how i setup the powersystem:

The 9100 is close to the powerbox except it doesn't have as many servo inputs. Im sure their may be something else but I cant think of them now. The 9100 has a failsafe switch, 2 HD 16g leads and can handle 35 continuous amps and 50 peak amps. Just my choice--a power box will work just as well.
