Power Box or not?
Hello.
At what size, (Plane, engine, number of servos etc.) is it advisable to use a power box, rather than running everything through the receiver?
Regards,
Magne

RE: Power Box or not?
it is personal preference...
I fly a 40%er and do not use one and haven't found anyone that can truly justify it.....
2 batteries, 2Rx's
Works perfectly...
K.I.S.S.
But hey, this is just me

I would have used it on smaller planes if the price was not so prohibitive - just for the sake of having better organized electronics.
I use SmartFly equipment instead - does the job for somewhat less money. A combination PowerReg, Ignition cutoff and Power Expander covers quite everything needed.
