I've always wondered why Futaba in the US offers something very different to what is being offered in Europe. In Europe they offer different cables and even a battery backer that can supply a steady voltage

Tons of different elements for an S-Bus install in that store but at the same time, it defeats the point of having a very simple system with S-Bus.
Hi, let me confirm Gonzalo38 quote, I'm the guy he is refering to.
The S Bus installation was done by the book with USA Futaba components and S Bus servos in a Sunshine Me163 Komet powered by a Jet Central Rhino, because of the Komet simplicity, only three servos really operate in flight and the fact that there was no servo behind the plane CG , meaning very short cables, seemed to be an ideal plataform for S Bus, 2 x 2300 Duralite LiFe where used for power.
Six flights, six times turbine stopped..... always at random times in flight.
To make a long story short with turbine energised, but not running, rpm reading = 000000 , when aileron elevator Tx stick was moved in circles after a few moments and randomly, the rpm reading start showing .... readings.... :-(
A power box cockpit was fitted and never had the rpm sensor had erratic readings again.
My experience to share.
