Hey.

What model is this on, a 550E?
Personally I wouldn't, a FBL machine puts much more stress on the servos than a flybarred model and the internal BEC's of most ESC's (inc. the ICE75) are not rated high enough to cope. Also most are not rated to pwoer more than 2~3 servos and we are running 4 all controlled through gyro's which keep them constantly moving. As the servos draw more current and Aligns are quite power hungry, this could lead to radio system brownouts and ultimately a crash.

I would advise fitted a more powerful seperate BEC such as the CC BEC PRO or other, so that there is ample power available.
