Hey all.

What are your guys recommendations: To buy the SK Powerbus for my setup or can I just run the SK Sbus cable?

Fusion 50
Futaba R6208SB (Sbus)
2s Lipo receiver pack
Align 2 & 1 voltage regulator
Align DS 610 (cyclic)
Align DS 650 (tail)

Cheers

nah just mount it side ways in the gyro tray up front and have the servos plug in onto the left side just make sure the wires going into the skookum are moving freely some so they don't cause extra vibs

AnTi Taco: Thanks for the quick response! Judging by the Skookum vids...it seems they were suggesting the powerbus for HV servos or mixed.

Dont forget to add an additional power lead to the receiver. The sb adapter from the sk doesn't have enough voltage to power the sbus. You can use a lead with the signal wire removed directly from one of the extra ios on the sk720.

In your position, I would definitely use the power bus. Those cyclics draw lots of amps.
