Mike, I'm well along in building a four engine flying boat (124" span). I will be using a Supreme 8 channel receiver and this servo set up - 3 HS-635s (one on rudder; two on flaps) ; 4- HS-475s (two each on elevator and ailerons) and 4 _ Fut S133s (throttles) on five cells. Would I be OK running all the servos through the receiver or should I power them from a separate bus? I may run a switch as well for separately powered lights. This is a scale project powered by four OS52s so there shouldn't be any severe flight loads on the control surfaces.

Just for reference, I'm running eight 5945 digitals, one 425 std. and one 81 micro on my 24 lb. H9 Cap, with a Supreme 8 Rx. 90+ flights so far, and no problem flying IMAC sequences or 3d.

Thanks, Aerobat. Sounds like I should have no need for separate power then. I imagine the current draw on your plane would be way more than mine would ever see.
