Enough Power?
Guys,
I'm setting up a 2.6m Yak, and it will have a total of 8 5945's and 1 5245 digital on throttle.
I've got two 1900mah Duralite packs for Rx. (which equals 3800mah's total)
OR
I've got two 4400mah Duralite's I could use.
I recently used the two 1900's in a plane that had EXACTLY 1 less servo, as I have now, and it worked great.
Do you guys think the two 1900's should be enough? I would think so, but thought I'd get a few opinions.
The two 4400's are tempting, but MUCH heavier than the two 1900's.

RE: Enough Power?
It will work, BUT your not meeting the needs of the servos, IMO. I'd run the 4400mAh batteries. The weight penalty is maybe six ounces. Small price to pay to insure your servos are doing all the work they were designed to do.
3800mA will provide 7.6 Amps, each servo can consume nearly two amps under load and while starting to move the servos will do the same for a very short period of time. Voltage degradation is likely I believe.
