Thanks Dave. After watching this I was able to synch the motors on my bushmule. They were running at different speeds and one had brake set, the other didn't. Made for some interesting landings. So easy to do once the beeps are explained. Cheers
Thanks Dave! I just ordered a BushMule and had no idea what ESC's are in it. I've only ever used the little programmer with ESC's before. Like the comment before mine, I will be coming back to this video many times. Keep up the great videos!
Enjoyed the video . I subscribed. 👍 I used to fly a lot . But have not flew in many years . I was in the attic yesterday and took down a couple of planes . I have old JR controllers and the batteries were gone . So I ordered some new radios so I can teach my grandkids to fly on a buddy cord . My name is Tim and I live in Las Vegas. I'm retired pipefitter welder out of local #525 .... I like the plane you used in the video . I have quite a few planes in the attic. Some nitro and some electric brushless. All nice . Just old lol 😆
I just watched this video , did what you said and I’ll be dammed if it didn’t work. Thanks!!! I’m running a EDF on a rc car. Two completely different esc’s and it worked flawlessl!! ✌🏻😁👍🏻
#21: Nice to know how to do it if you do not know how to do it, I love the new intro Dave, short, clean and nice colors. The bush-mule is coming along nicely. Cheers.
I think you are really #8 if you don't count my posts, congrats :-) That intro was from the Magix templates. It kind of reminds me of those DIY auto mechanic TV shows where they pitch upgrade parts.
a question ? on the outrunner brushless rc aircraft motors can the motor timing be adjusted with the motor itself ? or only the esc settings ? thanks for the response.
ThankDave for your reply, have many planes and tried middle and down doesn't seem to affect full throttle just seems motors start earlier, like to have one or two notches before they do, so will stick with middle as you say. Good info thanks again for your reply much app! Just bought mine awaiting maiden gonna stick with flaps at half for first landing, any advice or vices it may have would appreciate any info. Kind regards Graham.
I think this will be one of those videos that people keep coming back to. Just like the ones I used to always end up looking at.... your EZUHF ones. How's the mini talon build coming along Dave? I have 3 new planes to build which I'll be revealing next weekend :-)
To be honest the mini talon is very close to done but I did get sidetracked on the Bush Mule. The Bush Mule is so attractive because I don't have to throw it. I will be looking forward to your reveal!
Hi Dave! That was a short but sweet video and I needed the refresher. I noticed your handy on/off switch for the plane. Is that something you and Jon came up with or did you buy it somewhere? Thanks...
I actually made a whole video about that short stopper. Long story short I had to make it unlisted because someone claimed trade mark infringement. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5aF5kQertg.html
I need a help... Actually.. I connect 2 different motor with two different esc to 1 3s lipo battery... Problem is same.. when I turn on my remote.. I can here sounds of two esc with different time beeping.. ND my motors running one after another rpm.. after throttle..
Your videos came in handy when i needed to put my BM together. Thanks. Now i know why brake is useful on a glider but does it have the same benefit on a plane like this? With brake on would there be less drag and a extended glide slope?
I am finding that bush mule works better with the brake off so the props spin freely. It will stall without the motors running. I think the brake is most useful with a folding prop like on a glider.
Very interesting procedure :) You don't have a software for selecting the different options for your ESCs? What firmware are they running by the way? Love the new format of the videos! Very enjoyable :) Thanks for sharing and have a great week Dave :)
This twin airplane is a different situation than a miniquad because there is no configuration tool and no multirotor FC. It's just too ESCs on a Y-cable. Happy to hear that you like the new format of the video. I will do a tutorial on how it was done with Magix movie editor soon.
Dave,I think I asked the wrong question. How does your switch setup work that you used on the plane in this video, the switch to turn the plane on and off? Or is it just the smoke stopper? Tony
If your talking about a reversed motor you can just swap two of the three wires. Or if you have a reversing ESC it could be the channel is reversed or both.
Dave Merc Productions thanks for taking the time to respond. When I match up the ESC colors with the motor, they both spin CW, but when I swap two of the three wires on one side, It pushes that motor backwards (reverse) and CCW. So now I have CCW with one motor going forward when the other going reverse.
I have them on a y-cable for now but you can do it either way. Perhaps you want differential thrust for example then you could use separate throttle channels.
