We're all a little confused Brian, but that's what makes it interesting.

Apparently it does not run directly off the BEC. The engineers were discussing that exact question after I asked if it would work. My eyes kind of glazed over when they started jabbering away in their engineering jargon. But the end result that I could gather was that it did not run the fan off the BEC itself. Pat may see this and offer some insight on where the fan actually gets its voltage from.
