    That’s almost 40 amps. If you got one that will let you pull almost 20 amps per motor which will probably be slightly weak but not too bad and require tuning the rig response to be more gentle. That may be good for most flying though. I’d say for more responsive driving you might want two and use one for each motor.

    This also depends on the motors you get and the geometry of your sim, if it’s a seat shaker (needs less power), or a full frame (needs more power).

    Maybe others with more direct experience with setups similar will chime in. The above is kind of general and by extension.
