With a giant warbird, I would recommend connecting a battery directly to the gyro if you go with the Cortex.
I am running 5 powerful digital servos from the Cortex and that issue of getting current through just 2 leads does concern me a bit, as 4 of them are elevons which will all be worked at the same time so maximising the current drawn. However I can't see how you get a battery input on its own into the Cortex, could you explain please? The only spare socket is for the USB connection.
