Nice one, thank you. I've just acquired a Grand Tundra, the ESC of which has this feature. Needless to say the online instructions did not mention how to set up, so thanks for your well explained video. Regards from the UK.
Thanks Tim. I had no idea models could do this. I always marvel at the Air Force F4 Phantom. It has bleed air slats on the leading edge, allowing for a slower stall speed. Genius. Maybe we’ll see that on jet models one day.
Thanks Tim. I like your approach to showing how to reverse thrust.. My Habu 70mm esc has the extra lead you show. My radio is a DX6 like yours. I have tried over and over to set it up with no success. I have paused the video so I could follow you step by step, still no success. Is there possibly another step needed? Thanks, Don Pardue, Chattanooga TN
Don: I watched my video again. The transmitter setup should be fairly clear as you have a DX6. The only thing I can think of is to be sure the extra lead is pugged into one of the numbered channels on the receiver (not the BATT port, as there is no signal). And ensure the number of the channel (on the receiver) is what you program on the DX6. Maybe sleep on it, try again in the morning! Tim
I’m in a similar boat I’m using a DX6i with a Habu 50 mm and I’m trying to go to the aux flap channel, having some issues communicating. These habus are tight to work in! We will figure it out gentlemen
You could also just use a bidirectional esc meant for cars and boats with not a single extra wire or tx set up. Then your throttle mid point will be neutral and above 50% is positive thrust while below 50% is reverse thrust. Its a little tough get used to zero throttle being in the middle though. With that said, its not really easier or gonna save much set up time, i just wanted to let you know it was an option bcus options equal opportunities.
I've got my reverse thrust setup on my F-22, but my question is should the reverse thrust work if your throttle is all the way down? Because the only way I can get reverse thrust is if I move the throttle up and then hit the switch for reverse thrust.
Hi Tim. I'm using a DX6 with programmer V2 and Avian ESC, and have followed through with you but with no result. However I've noticed that when I press channel assign, I get the channel input config page first, followed then by RX port assignments (i.e the wrong way around to your description). I continue, flipping between these two trying to assign to in my case switch H, however still with no reverse thrust. Any help greatly appreciated
Hello Tim, I'm having the same problem. I have the DX8 { updated } and an Avian Smart ESC with the V2 programmer. I went through all the setting and set up reverse on the ESC. I too want to use the H switch for Aux 3 where my ESC single wire is installed. The switch works by looking at the monitor but i still can't get reverse motor rotation. Any suggestions? Thank you Clay
Thanks Tim for the lesson, it's very interessing ! Do you think is it possible to configure a reverse with Spektrum Smart Avian 60A ESC and a frsky receiver? sorry i don't speak english very well...
