[NSRCA-discussion] Mezon with BEC option

[Ed Alt]

That's a slick way of doing it!

I run the BEC at 8 volts and just leave the PLR5 at the factory 6.2 volts. I run 250 and 350 packs for the backup on the regulator. Every flight I check both sides. I turn on the regulator first until the servos kick in. I then turn it off and plug in the big batteries. When the BEC kick's in I flip the regulator switch back on.

When you run the throttle feed into the Throttle Tech, it isolates the voltage at the output to zero so you still need to plug in the other feed from the BEC into the receiver. The Throttle Tech side gives the receiver throttle input data, and the other feed supplies power to the receiver.
