This is my first time setting up a plane with this amount of servos. Thes are alll Hitec servos
To be clear if there 4.8/6.0v servos will accept/and run on 6.6V, I E-mailed them.

Right from Hitec
My question:: I just recently bought (5)- HS-225MG’s, (2)- HS-645MG’s, (2)- HS-85MG’s and (1)- HS-81, all of which suggest they can run at 6.0V.
Can they/will they accept the use of a Life battery @ 6.6V?

Answer:Any servos that are rated at 6V will typically be fine at 6.6v.

As stated there will be a totoal of 10 all Hitec's

5-HS-225MG's-2-aileron, 2-elevators 1-steering

2-HS645MG's-flaps

2-HS85MG's- rudders

1-HS81- retract valve

I've done some searching here on acceptable V's for theR617FS, and it seems that there shoud be NO issue using 6.6V RX pack.

Looking at this battery specs

A123 Systems 26650 Nano M1 Pack
Pack Voltage: 6.6v 2300ma
Rating: 30C (69.0A) Continuous

Should be more tha enough power avaliable. So the $64 question is, can the R617FS handle all 10 servos?
Of course there will be multiple Y-harnesses, and all servo extensions will be HD. The EDF will have its own separate PS. Just trying to keep it as simple as possible.

Thanks, Mark

As long as you don't exceed 8 Amps at peak and 3 Amps continuous, you'll be OK.

Thanks Bax.
as far as batt voltage for the rx, as long as there's sufficent power there (say 20-30c) 6.6V isn't an issue, correct?
Just want to make sure .
