[NSRCA-discussion] Mezon 90 Lite investigation

[Daniel Dupont]

That is because you don’t have a throttle lock switch....I do and disconnect the power pack first on the line then once in the pit turn the RX off....

I now have no idea why this worked flawlessly because on my current Allure, with a Jeti 130 Lite, I could not get this setup to work at all. Very strange.  Ed Alt from TechAero wired up a diode for me and it now works beautifully.  You will need to increase the output of the BEC by about .7 volts to achieve the desired voltage at the ESC.
