I use FrSky products and if you have a few telemetry modules setup, you can have a brown out when the gear goes up on a plane with a low BEC amperage (usually stock setup). Not the best time to lose control. This happened to me once and after I installed one of these in an empty receiver channel, I had no more issues.

Being the engineer that I am, I put an o-scope on the power line at my receiver and used flaps, servo movement and motor rotation to see the noise generated with and without the capacitor installed. As I expected the noise level on the power line generated from servo motor movement and motor noise was almost eliminated. This little product is just electronic common sense to help your receiver run smooth and without electrical interference. One of these units now go into every plane I have. Cheap insurance.

This nifty capacitor is like the shock absorbers on your car, smoothing out the voltage that is running through your Rx and servos.

For the price it's good insurance against voltage drops and possible brown outs. Haven't had any problems and the quality is very good.

Works good and took some Servo chatter out.

This is nice for jittery servos and light brownouts. I would get a brownout when first turning on the plane and remote. I would also get a stutter in the gear when going up and down. I also had a lot of servo chatter. I researched a way to get rid of this and came up with this capacitor idea I saw on YouTube. I was looking for the capacitors to buy and make these when I talked to a friend at the field and he said he saw them for sale on Motion. He sent me the link and these were it. I bought a few and they work just as I suspected they would. I think every plane should have them, especially with retracts, telemetry, and stabilization. These really smooth the power out.
