Power Supply is critical part of the model. For this reason it is highly recommended to use suitable BEC or battery that can handle used servos.
Once wiring and setup is completed it is highly advised to perform the '''BEC test'''. If the test will not pass it is clear the power supply is inadequate and failure will occur.
