HV..BL9080 AND 9088 ... 2s straight into power bus and a link between both sides... one on a 720 one on a 540... just the sbus is in a strange place on a 540 (portb)...

No regs... i fit a standard futaba HD switch between the fright pack and the power bus... first pack went dead flat because it wasn't unplugged for a week... now we use a switch...

I was using a SK720 on my 600 with no powerbus - just a 2s life pack straight into it and no problems while i had it.

Using a 2S lipo pack straight through with my SK540

The answer to your question is very much dependant upon the size of the heli.

What heli are you going to run this Skookum on?

Due to the amps that full size servos will pull, Skookum recommend the external bus on 550+

Dump BEC, go with LiFe or Lipo
