Thanks, Gary
Gary,

I don't think that they can handle a 2s LiPo right off the charger. However, you could put a simple BEC in-line with those actuators to step down the 8V from the LiPo to the 6v that they need. You can use something like this BEC.

I'm going to do that for my Mig-15 that will be all electric - I'm using these actuators on the gear doors and speed brakes.
