Default Will receiver have power after motor stops?

Been flying R/C (glow) for over 40 years, and recently got a Brio 10. It flies great and have had no problems with the 10 or so flights I've made.

However, I always land in what probably is a shorter period of time than necessary, because I have yet to find an answer to the following question:

When using BEC (built in to the ESC) to power the receiver/servos, and the batteries go "empty", will the receiver/servos still work, and how long?

I assume the ESC cut-off is at a point where the motor stops, but with still enough "genki" in the battery to power the receiver ... but since I know what "assume" stands for, I don't want to take a chance.

Thanks,

Burnie
