Two power leads to Spirit (not Pro?)

Just bought a Trex 800 Pro DFC and want to use a spare Spirit (not Pro) I have.

Plan is to run two Spektrum satellites (one with Spirit adapter to RUD pins) and no receiver. Power will come from a 2S lipo receiver pack.

PROBLEM: With everything plugged in to the Spirit, I only have one set of pins, AUX, available for power. SYS and ELE/PIT/AIL can't be used for power, and the other 4 each have a servo plugged into them.

The Trex has brushless servos which are not supposed to be power hogs, and it passed Spirit's BEC test, but it's a really big heli and I would be more comfortable with two power leads.

Is there a way?

Thanks

Hi, you an use Y Cable on any servo Port and connect 2nd Power to it together with the Servo.
