Sure enough, there was no BEC output with the 10s pack plugged in. Now after cutting off the soldered short, I have BEC power to Rx and the ESC arms/works. Like most, I too run a backup source about a 1/2 volt less than primary (saved at least one plane for me already) and will use the power up sequence that Patrick Harris described. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Thanks all for the input!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Jeff <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Peter Vogel [mailto:vogel.peter@gmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, September 01, 2016 8:13 AM<br><b>To:</b> nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org; Jeff and Claire<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Switch on the Jeti Mezon Lite 90 ESC<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cut it off, that's fine.
