Regarding the electronics being fed from one of the ESC's BEC -
I'm on the way of making things very reliable.
I thought of feeding the tronics with regulated 5v, coming from a stand alone circuitry, 5v regulator off the battery.
that way im not dependent on a random ESC if it decides to blow...
of course it will be well regulated and decoupled.
what do you think of it ?

Yea sure,
i believe it's still under 1A.
though after a few minutes running, i could feel the GPS dome is getting warm !
that might eat the most of the power.
i dont believe small sensor eat alot.
the sonar is rated at 3mA usually !
and the decision is made - going on UBEC

I've been using the Castle BED on my arduquad and just connected it to the PDB. No problems so far and I feel better not relying on an ESC.
