Working on a 110" Giles. Trying to decide which power expander to get. The smartfly eq6 or the eq6turbo. The eq6 is a 7.5a continious amp draw with 15a peak and the eq6turbo is 17.5a continuous with 35a peak. I plan on running A123 packs. and will be using 6qty Hitec 7955TG's on ailerons and elevators and 1qty 7950TH on the rudder. I know amp draw from servos depends on factors like servo wire lead length and how hard the servos work. Assume this is for basic 3d and acrobatic (knife edge, hovers, etc.) Would the standard EQ6 be sufficient or would I be pushing it?

You will be perfectly happy with the Power Expander Sport in terms of power handling capabilities.

If you want the servo matching capabilites then get the EQ10. I have one and love it.

A123 batteries do not require a regulator, so you don't need to get a system with a built-in regulator (like the EQ6).

Why do you want a power expander?

I prefer the power expander pro over the sport version for one reason. You can use the optional failsafe switch and save a little weight and not have to run 2 switches.

Right now I only have a 7 channel radio, so I'd like to have something with servo matching capabilities, plus if I am going to use HV servos, I want to be able to supply the correct power with least resistance possible so I get the most out of them. I know there are so many ways of doing it, y-harnesses, twin receivers, etc. This is just the way i have decided to go.

You don't need use HV servos with A123 batteries.
