I am setting up a model using a JR RG1131B 11-Channel DMSS receiver. I need to use all 11 channels.

The RX has 1 batt / bind port & 11 servo ports. I am using a Smart Fly Batt Share that has 2 power outputs to the Rx.

I would like to have both power outputs plugged into the Rx mainly for redundancy.

My question is can I plug a Y lead into the throttle port ( furtherest away from the battery port ) and plug the second power output from the Batt Share into the Y lead along with the throttle servo?

If there is some sort of failure with the main power supply, will this supply power to all the servos or just the one it is on the Y lead with?

Thanks.

This is done all the time on a profile plane. Mostly because the RX is in the fuse and the battery is in the wing. We plug the male end of the Y into the RX. One female end goes to an AILE servo, the other female end goes to the switch lead/battery. When we assemble the plane at the field we just plug the AILE servos up like normal and we are ready to go.
The RX will be powered on all channels no matter where the battery is plugged in.

The only real issue --is the Y harness.
use genuine JR/Futaba HD types and make certain the connections are smooth and tight
The actual losses in many aftermarket Y's/extensions is in some cases ,enough to cause power out just because actual voltage is severely depressed under load.
If you are working with a large aerobatic model - the probability of very high peak loads increases.
