Default S.Bus 2 & HV

Can I connect two S.Bus servos using a "Y" extension? if not why?

I will be buying some new S.Bus servos for my new F3A plane, 171SV and 173SV, they all say 7.4V on the specs, I guess they can take 8.4V? or not? as all regulators are set to 7.2V

Best regards

They're intended for 2-cell Litlhium cells. Since 8.4V is not in the specs, we cannot assume that would be OK.

Thank you, and what about Y harness vs hubs? Also, the manual mentions you can use either system which we know, but can I use S.Bus servos and one regular on Throttle?

An S-Bus hub is similar to a "Y" harness, except it allows for more servos and allows you to connect a battery pack to power those servos. For only two servos, you could use a "Y" harness as well.
