The factory-installed electric retracts, nose gear door servos and steering servo can NOT be powered by more than ~ 6.0V. So if you use HV servos for the control surfaces and want to power them with a 2S 7.4V LiPo you'll need to use a regulator to power the retracts, nose gear door servos and the steering servo. But because all of the retract units and the nose gear door servos plug into the included sequencer, you can plug the one lead from the sequencer and the steering servo into this Spektrum VR5203 two-channel/dual output regulator like Jack did in the EDF version build thread here:
