I take my new Turbo Timber Evolution for 2 flights on a perfect fall afternoon. Spektrum Smart Lipo - 3200 mAh 4s 50c Radiomaster TX16s GoPro Hero9 head mounted
Very nice. I've got the original Timber 1.5. I've seen the EVO flown by one of our club members. Better featured and better flying than my original Timber.
Beware,RF signal low at such short distance likely means you have some radio issue. Did you put the antenna in the right direction on the radio? Should be 90 degrees, pointing straight up. Try to do a range test and resolve that issue or you may lose the plane :( It should give you low signal warnings at like a kilometre or more!
Dude!!! I'm getting sketched out about that. I'm glad you said something. I do have my antenna in a straight up orientation (I'll have a double check again after my hands relax). I might be pointing my hands down too far with the transmitter angled down or something. I'll do a range test and see if anyone else has this issue.
It was super easy! I found plenty of videos on here explaining it. I don't have reverse thrust without extra hardware/firmware and better tech knowledge, though. Good luck and have fun flying the beast!
Thanks for checking out the vid! I researched a lot and came to the conclusion that I would need extra hardware to connect to the receiver and TX16s to work together nicely, I'm not really sure...I wish I had thrust reverse setup, but it is a little too involved for me right now. Great plane if you have some stick time!
@@LiftVector look up "Stick Programming" for the Avian ESC and watch a couple RU-vid videos. You can find the ESC manual online and follow it to set the reverse thrust by listening for the tones as you progress through the settings. Took me a few tries to get it right but I got it working. I'm using a Zorro transmitter so it will definitely work on your TX16S.
Thanks! I found a lot of videos on RU-vid that explain it better than I can. That's how I was able to set it up, but it is fairly simple to bind! Try and do a search and you'll find it.
@@Heinekeners So my flaps just ended up on channel 6 automatically after binding. Maybe channel 5. But if I remember I just assigned a switch to one of those channels and it was a 3-way flaps! :D
