Out of interest, how do you get a servo weighing 50 kg to the flying field?

2S or 3S doesnt matter, your still giving it a regulated 5v supply, so which ever you have handy is fine. The larger the lipo ( mah not voltage ) the longer you get from it so choose whats best for your normal flying.

I used 3S 5000mah for mine, simply because I ran a monitor, DVR and Receiver off 12v so the lipo was already part of my system

I'd suggest powering it via the servo port as the power track on the pcb is microscopic and prone to fail.
