I am no expert, but I would like to know if this could assist with the stock align esc/2.4GHz brown out issues.
In high powered wings where the electronics are stuffed into small places, a trend is, using (a.) opto-isolators between the esc and receiver (b.) caps (spektrum capacitor) on the receiver.
Wouldn't these two things as well as grounding the ESC eliminate 'brown outs"?
a.) Features of the Medusa opto-isolator are:
Converts any ESC with a Bec to an Opto-isolated input.
Isolates potentially harmful electrical noise.
Allows the seperate use of a receiver battery in systems where the esc has a battery eliminator circuit, without modifying any wiring.
Allows the use afo seperate BEC, such as the Medusa Research Potencia Bec, by isolating the ESC's power supply from the receivers power supply.
Note: The opto-isolator requires that your esc is equipped with an on-board BEC circuit, and that your receiver has it's own seperate power supply, such as a flight pack or Potencia BEC.

b.) Spektrum Capacitator: 4700UF 10V
This holds a temporary charge for your receiver (if I understand correctly.....it's all new to me ) if you get a glitch or temporary power loss from a power surge eating into receiver power, hence, maintaing signal between controler and receiver. (Please explain if I am in-correct)
