No problem - In fact I wondered where to draw the current for the fan. One of the airplane guys at my LHS recommended that I splice in prior to the esc and reciever. Use a 12 volt fan and draw directly from the batteries. His reasoning was that any fluctuation in current produced by the fan may lead to glitching if it was being drawn from the reciever. Since I already had a 5 volt fan I went ahead and plugged it into channel 3 of the receiver and haven't had any glitching yet. My LST2 conversion is put together the same way and I haven't had any issues there either.
