My design is probably extremely over-engineered, but I have 2 IFI
Victor 885s and 2 100 amp fuses on my tank. So far they work perfectly
normally without a tank mixer. I have a DX-6i that mixes the tracks,
but they work just as well with a simple 2-channel FM transmitter that
I use for testing. Just my 2 cents.
