Avios PNF BushMule V2 - Easy To Setup

[@MrVerno1960]

Just a follow up after completing my assemble of the V2 BushMule today. BTW, your video came in very handy in the assembly process. I hate to be critical however, this plane is pretty low quality compared to other brands on the market. Several of the connections were mislabeled, Elevator was Rudder etc. The outer wings sections per the poorly written assemble manual, are held together with two per side, 2mm x 15 mm servo mounting screws going into light plastic material. I spent a few extra hours reinforcing with epoxy and using longer screws to insure the wings would not fly off. The airfoil sections on the landing gear was not even glued in place and fell off in shipping. Quite a bit of foam wrinkles/bubbles in mine especially on the hatch door. The Icing on the cake, while making the final travel adjustments to the Main Feature of the Plane, the Drop Hatch, the servo gears striped out. Now I will have to replace with a quality servo. I hope others have better results than mine. Good Luck!

Glad I waited for the V2. Mine is on the way and thank you for the assembly video, it will come in handy. Have a bunch of parachute guys waiting to jump!

YEAH! Love doing parachute drops.

Oh man I cant wait for these to get back in stock its killin me watchin this! im so jealious! Ive got new batteries and rx ready to go..just waiting on HK to restock soon!

[@danzimmermann9122]

I bought a Tundra V2 the day before this video came out. I wish I would have waited a day but oh well. I'll have another plan to add to the hanger this year and I'm sure the Tundra will be fun.

The Tundra will be a ton of fun. Which colour?

[@danzimmermann9122]

@ I went with the Orange and Grey scheme. I have liked that one for a while.

@@danzimmermann9122 My fav as well.

[@David.krauss.youtube]

hi, nice video but did you conect it that the 2 motors spins together

[@williamdecker3989]

Im gonna have to sticker mine up as a #blameandre edition! I didnt buy v1. It pays to wait...welcome back Avios!

Its a good looking plane!

[@cadgeek101]

Nice Video. Is the dihedral brace upside down for your left wing? Is it possible to get those backwards?

They need to be pointing up. That is one of those areas to be cautions about if you are moving the plane around with no wings. On the V1 I actually used a marker to high light the up vs down.

[@rcpilottony2338]

Yeah I noticed this also, he has it upside down on the left wing. The left wing is flat and not angled up slightly.

Thank you for the video Andre. Oh.... the flight video...really great.

Heh, I didn't want to wait on the flight video. ;)

[@keithbowers5548]

Hi Andre, think you were a little kind with the assembly of the outer wing panels. The lamp wire doesn't route well at all through the gap.I'd have willingly paid extra for a decent multiplug and clip in design. I have a y cable marked "Ele" coming out of the wing, did yours? Thanks

The Y cable for the elevator is power to the marker light on top of the fuselage. Is that Y cable your ailerons or flaps?

[@keithbowers5548]

@ neither Andre, I have 2 sep throttle cables, 1 flap on a “y” , a single lamp wire, a single aileron, and this “ele” on a y

@@keithbowers5548 Probably the reverse for the ESC than if it is coming off the wings centre pod. I have Alienors on a Y, x2 throttle cables, Flaps on a Y, Reverse ESC on a Y cable.

[@keithbowers5548]

@ Thanks Andre

Flies amazingly off the water with 5000 4s, but lands a little hard with the 5000 on those hard wheels and springy undercarriage.

Yeah that was what I was suspecting with the 5000. With the 3300 it was amazing on the snow.

[@jaimesarabia9830]

what floats did u use? do they come with the v2?

[@northernfpv9562]

@@jaimesarabia9830 they came with the V1 so I’d assume so!

[@42Redbear]

Great instructional video! Thanks. A quick question: for the 8-channel setup described here, what port on the receiver takes the LAMP connector cable? Thanks.

[@David.krauss.youtube]

you have to plug it in the m-bus port

[@MrFishman50]

Andre, Website says you can use a 6 channel setup. How do you hook up the two throttles? I tried a y connector in the Spektrum receiver and neither motor worked. It only has one port for throttle

You might not be able to take the power from both ESC's when using a Y connector into the Spektrum receiver.

[@sebastienburet1974]

hello, thanks for a vidéo. very nice plane =)

Hey, thanks!

[@petergottschalk4524]

i would have liked if you explained the wiring more,,,,,,,,,why is there 2 throttle wires exc.

[@sheldondame6205]

Cannot find anywhere how far in to install the elevator float stabilizer fins marked #10 on the parts list. Anyone have any tips? cut out the middle piece and glue on?

[@WX4CB]

nice.. you get spare props?

Not yet but next time I do a HK order I'll add them.

[@petergottschalk4524]

what about the thro's brother % that would be the most helpfull

Hey Peter check out the first flight video I cover off what rates and setting I like flying the BM with. At the time of this video HK hadn’t released the manual.

[@peytonmccluskie1458]

the reemote !!!!!!!

As in what remote do I use? FrSky Taranis X9D Plus.

[@pilotimodele4598]

👏👏👏...👍😜

[@alanbrantingham4958]

Video is OK but not much depth to it. Putting screws in holes is not too tough to figure out. How to wire this thing is much more complicated and totally glossed over. I hooked up my throttles with a Y-cable. If I turn off the transmitter or go into system setup the motor start, kinda dangerous I think. Neither the nose wheel servo or the rudder servo work. I'm very disappointed to have to return this plane I was so looking forward to.

Sorry your experience was not great. The BM V2 is a really nice plane. As you can see from my more recent videos I've been taking the time to dive more into the setups.
