Default RE: S-Bus and Jets

I'm fighting this S-Bus thing now allready for 6 months and realy can't get my head around it.

Would realy like to start using it but i also don't see why to invest in the redicoulsy high priced S-Bus servo's.
So i want to use my normal servo's with the decoders.
But now i understood that if using the decoders you can't reverse the servo's??

So reading all this makes it even more confusing cause as i got it right, no one is recomending straight S-Bus use cause of the cable's will probably fail due to high current?
So if i understand correctly, an improvement to make things easier ends up beeing less reliable cause of thin wires?

So you need to add a few more bits to tackle the current problem (powerbox SRS or the emcotec unit).
This will make it again even more complex and 'the more stuf in there the more can fail".........

All the electric gear manuefactors don't give the answer to the qustion, "will the gears work when using S-Bus".........
And what about the Turbine ECU??? will it acept beeing hooked up to an S-bus decoder or hub??

I just want to make an symple as posible S-Bus set up to start with.

- 7x digital Des 707 (2x elv, 2x ail, 2x flap, 1x rud)
- jettronics gear/door secuencer (3x door servo and 3x electric gear)
- 1x nose gear steering servo
- throttle (ecu)
- 2 x 2cell lipo for power

So what in god's name do i need to make it work that i can reverse servo's, operate gear and doors, operate throttle and that the wires dont melt??

Realy hope some one can give me the redeeming answer to my torture......

Many Thanks,

Ed
