ORIGINAL: The Big Kahuna its only my opinion,,,but i run my junk like you do, yes the p d s ,will clean up signals and do other neat things like expandability and backup battery,but from my reading they usually recommend for 33 pct and up, its good to have but ,,,only my opinion ,and off the dl subject,, but ifeel its unnecessary,i ran straight to yhe reciever on a 35 pct extra and flew it 3 years ,until the plane broke up in flight,so im sure someone will have a differing perspective than mine ,and we both might learn something

Hi guys, now that the Velocity Stack question has been answered, here is my next one.
We all agree that some form of kill switch is a must have and the Opto Kill is probably as good as you can get.
Now, what about a POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM / Blue Box / which sends an amplified but measured signal to all survos? I do not use one with my DL50 planes. I simply go off the receiver like i do in Glo 40 size planes. I have had no problems yet but I sure would like to know if I am taking a gamble. My ignition system and my RX system are independant with seperate batteries for each. What are your thoughts on POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS???
