I think some confusion has set in here. I know the BEC supplies the RX power, if you plug a fan into the RX for a power feed it is adding to the load on the BEC, albeit only a small amount I would guess. I am a flyer too and I always consider the RX supply, as a few seconds of signal loss can be the end!!
Thanks for the heads up re the Diode, I thought some of them knock about 0.7v off which would help a bit.
