Default electric gear

Has anyone used the new Robart electric gear with a smart fly unit? I have a large scale Corsair and want to convert the main gear to electric. I am wondering if therecouldbeany problems powering the gear through the smart fly power expanders. I havethecompetition 12 units withouta regulator for the servos and am using a dual A123 set up withtwo 2300mah batteries.The servos with this type of expander see direct battery voltage.

I know the new electric gear use an "amp out" circuit to shut the electric actuators off at their limits. Since the power expanders are alwayslooking at battery voltage/condition I wonder if there would be any problems here. I know the option would be to power the gear through a separate battery but was hoping to keep this simple.

Thanks for any advice/experience.
