Ed,
i am using 2 2200 lipos and a Spektrum Powersafe rx. I am plugging the retract/brake controller into the receiver and was going to use a Y off one of the receiver batteries to power it but the realized it will always be switched on possibly?? What is everyone doing.

I assume everyone is cutting the retract and brake and brake lines and adding connectors to plug in when bolting the wing on rather than plugging veering in the retract controller every time?

My thoughts are keep it simple, 2 x 2s lipo 2200mah in powerbox sensor switch (7.4V) straight in to receiver (futaba R7014SB)

And then what to do with the power lead coming out the gear controller box?
My thoughts are, solder an servo lead (without the signal wire of course) on it en stick it straight in to an empty receiver slot.
My only concern on this is, what's with the amp draw of the box? Could it be that high that it might pull the rest of the system "upside-down"???

Cheers,

Ed
