Servo Power Distribution Board
I am looking at the Powerbox Cockpit 4610, Down and Locked Secure Flight, or Smart-Fly EQ6-Plus. Who is using what, in what, and what are your flight pack requirement? I am looking for a system to retrofit into a few WWI & WWII 1/4 & 1/3 scale birds.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Between a few battery failures while flying and switch failures on the ground, I want to prevent anything else. I run 2 4200mHz NiCads, 2 switches on separate receivers and had 1/2 an airplane; I want power redundancy.
It may be bad timing/luck...but I don't want to loose any aircraft this way.

a simple power bus system works well.
Only two power leads to receiver, all power (positive + leads) to servo via the pictured bus.

That is obviously not going to work! (Unless you saw the buss in half!)
Besides, it's a bit heavy for an A/C model.
