    Thanks for all the replys. HH doesn't give those power safe Rx's away that's for sure!

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    I agree but not being an electrical engineer by trade I can learn from those that are and then be able to make a more informed decision.

    What options do I have for fail on switches? I know Fromeco Wolverine. which are good but expensive. Others?

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    They are not but that is why there is two of them and I always check to see that both are working before taking off.

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    Thanks for the insight folks. I may look into power safe Rx's for 40% size planes as I tend to think that due to their increased size and weight they will draw more current than the same servos in a 35% size airplane. But I think the dual Life Packs through RCExcel Switches and then into the...

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    I've flown Giant scale for a while now with a little bit of a break for a few years. When I flew before the biggest planes I had were 35% 100cc. Back then we used dual 6V NIMH packs, on the Rx and a 4.8 on the ignition each with their own switch. Since getting back in a few years ago I have...
