Multi Engine ESC Throttle Calibration and Brake Setup

[@jrgenramdahl123]

its 3am and after a lot of work my engines wouldnt sync... But now.... I love you..... thanks!

[@DaveMerc]

It's great to be loved. Thanks for the comment!

[@bretb9127]

Thanks for the informative video. My motors on the Bushmule looked ok but went ahead and re-calibrated just in case.

[@Slide100]

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!

[@rangirua1]

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

[@DaveMerc]

Super! Great you got it working.

[@blueplane8656]

@@DaveMerc Can this be fix for flyskyi6 because my controller is different than yours but if yes can you help me to fix it?

[@RhythmicEye]

Thanks! Just what I was needing to learn. Very well explained.

[@think2cre81]

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 😆

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

Nice video Dave! Those darn beeps can be confusing. Your explanation was spot on! Fergy

[@DaveMerc]

Thanks Fergy! Later you will see how I made the movie.

[@chadrchrdsn7249]

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!! ✌🏻😁👍🏻

[@3DDavesRC]

Thanks to your video I have my twin motors all in sync. Working great. Thank you.

[@EnglishTurbines]

Great video Dave, very clear and informative....You just need to listen carefully to those beeps...!!!

[@DaveMerc]

It's like learning Morse Code :-)

[@nathaliefournier498]

Thanks. Well explained.

[@RcBuddy]

#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.

[@DaveMerc]

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.

[@RcBuddy]

Lol, Is this # number annoying you Dave?

[@DaveMerc]

No, you're good.

[@deanedeane4318]

Great vid super demistafying , thankyou heaps 😎

[@Nothinglefttosay]

AWESOME... thank you so much....

[@franciscourena5636]

Great project and presentation

[@Sirsoulja31]

Thanks I hope it works my motor starts spinning as soon I arm it with the stick being all the way down everything in the transmitter is even

[@DaveMerc]

Did it work?

[@Mikinct]

Is it possible to program a switch to control twin engines separately? Have the ability to go to idle with one engine?

[@sailor0500]

Clear and concice. Thanks Dave. Mike.

[@DaveMerc]

Thanks for stopping by my channel. Thanks for the comment!

[@Vortecks]

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 :-)

[@DaveMerc]

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!

[@factbazar4286]

I have done differential thrust and my motor in aux channel is spinning faster than motor in ch3 i tried everything plse help me

[@richardbrown9035]

Hi buddy why does both escs beeping?? Thanks

[@jongonegone1262]

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.

[@zuryaz9597]

It's really working thankyou so much

[@ukvary34i]

Good Idea brother I like 💕👍

[@blackmennewstyle]

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 :)

[@DaveMerc]

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.

[@tommuhlemanjr.3871]

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...

[@DaveMerc]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmbEd2ihhsqlqsk

[@grahamwalton1573]

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.

[@3DDavesRC]

Very interesting, Thanks for the video.

[@DaveMerc]

Thanks for watching!

[@abidikar]

Nice plane. Nice build. Which ON / OFF Switch you are using...???

[@DaveMerc]

I am using a smoke stopper with a switch that we made ourselves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmbEd2ihhsqlqsk

[@martinkingBlue]

Can you help? Which way should twin motor spin? Both inwards from the top or outwards from the top?

[@DaveMerc]

Both inwards from the top.

[@hornysod7]

@@DaveMerc Thanks, much appreciated.

[@adventurwithken412]

Thanks for the video, I just cant figure out why one of my counter rotating props in my twin is in reverse. thanks in advance.

[@DaveMerc]

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.

[@adventurwithken412]

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.

[@DickGibson]

Great video Dave and a wonderful idea, where did you get that idea?

[@DaveMerc]

A couple viewers mentioned it. One view with a B17 and another with a Bush Mule.

[@a_2_z344]

Fantastic plane☑️

[@Skydive4ever]

Awesome, thank you :-) Great explanation, well presented :-)

[@DaveMerc]

Glad you like it! I was trying some different filming techniques for a Magix tut, coming soon.

[@foxprogt]

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?

[@DaveMerc]

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.

[@ITavares]

Did you use diferente propeller?

[@DaveMerc]

Counter rotating Props came with it

[@MrEndoftheRoadRC]

Nice vid👍

[@DaveMerc]

thanks for the up thumb!

[@grahamwalton1573]

On the throttle calibration did you have the trim set in the middle or at the down lowest point?

[@DaveMerc]

Middle is what I use.

[@tonyhouk9047]

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

[@DaveMerc]

It's just the short stopper. It has a switch. Very handy!

[@harshilgohel7901]

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..

[@DaveMerc]

You should get two of the same ESC or there can be problems.

[@tonyhouk9047]

Dave,Is the video for your short stopper not available to view? Or do you have a schematic? Thanks, Tony

[@DaveMerc]

I more information is the description of another video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmbEd2ihhsqlqsk

[@adventurwithken412]

Are you using a PUSHER prop on the motor with the SWAPPED ESC wire?

[@DaveMerc]

The plane (Bush Mule) came with two counter-rotating props. I like to set twins up so that the top of the props turns toward the fuselage.

[@adventurwithken412]

Dave Merc Productions thanks

[@harshilgohel7901]

In your video I can here sound of only one esc

[@GorakhpurWalaNikhil]

I love ur voice cool!

[@mauryasteeltraders6178]

What is the kv rating of these brushless motor

[@RetiredTimeProductions]

They are the stock motors that come with the BM 3536-850KV hobbyking.com/en_us/avios-bushmule-1500mm-yellow-grey-pnf.html

[@quadflopper1012]

are you running a y cable or are both esc's on their own channel?

[@DaveMerc]

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.

[@DaveMerc]

Bush Mule Specs: hobbyking.com/en_us/avios-bushmule-1500mm-yellow-grey-pnf.html Features: • Twin-powered motors • 90° barn door flaps to slow down landing descent • In-built cargo door for parachute launch and candy drops • Broad Tundra-like wheels for rough terrain Specs: Width: 1500mm (59") Length: 1095mm (43") Weight: 2250g Motors: 2 x 3536mm 850KV brushless outrunner motor ESC: 2 x 30A w/ reverse Recommended: Battery: 3000mah 4S Show less
