Default PowerBox in Fei Bao hawk

Hello guys,

My friend has a Fei Bao Hawk, and after this:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7123279/tm.htm

He decided he wants to go back to 72Mhz for now, to avoid this trouble.

A couple of the Israeli pilots are insisting that a plane of this scale requires a PowerBox or SmartFly power expander, and my personal opinion is that its WAY overkill and un needed.

The plane carries:
2 x JR 8711 digitals (elevs)
2 x Mini 5125 Hitec digitals (ailerons)
2 x 5645 Hitec digitals (flaps)
1 x Analog Futaba (retracts)
1 x Analog Futaba (nose steering)
1 x 5125 Hitec sigital (rudder)

This is currently powere by TWO Fromeco 2600 7.4V Li-ions, on a Redundant PB Gemini, as recommended by Mr. PowerBox himself - Emmerich (the owner of PB systems).

What is your opinion guys ? is a power box \ power expander needed with this setup ?

thanks.
