Bonzo Moon Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 My latest RC build turned out to be a real challenge, though I got there in the end after many hours of searching and frustration. Took a good few hours to figure it out, but I learned something anyway. 😔.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john davidson 1 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Twin mustang ,two batteries for balance I built a few years ago had me stumped until I slaved one throttle , should work with identical ESCs . One motor started a fraction later, but not noticeable in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I always calibrate any new ESC with the TX as soon as I get it, that way when I plug it in it should "just work" when it's installed. Takes seconds, but saves on snafus like this. Â PS - Model inside, twin motors running with props on, held in just one hand one hand arm outstretched, pointing at a camera... What could possibly go wrong?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matched pair of motors though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will in future you can bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this space. Have you tried biplane? That was a challenge.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
