    Can I wire an electrostatic cap in series with my BEC to free up a Rx slot?

    l wired an electrostatic cap into my receiver via a JST plug which takes up a slot. Instead, can I wire the cap in series with my BEC to free up that Rx slot? Tanx.

    From Google's Gemini:"No, you cannot wire a capacitor in series with your BEC. Doing so will block the direct current (DC) from reaching your receiver, preventing it from powering up at all. [1, 2]
    To free up a receiver (Rx) slot, you must wire the capacitor in parallel with the BEC. [1]"
