Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Tiny 2.11 supply

[David Buzz Carlson]

Why don't you just hook you ESC and your tiny 2.11 in parallel to the 
battery?  That's the way my setup works (and I imagine nearly 
everybody).  Unless you are planning on using some ghastly number of 
cells, this shouldn't be a problem.
