Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. I somehow manage to program this before but it was quirky to say the least. This method is solid and functioning as intended! Thank you so much. Hats off to you Sir!
Great to hear, thanks Joe
Brilliant. This question has been asked a bunch. I'm glad you tackled it.
No problem Dustin.
I’m days away from finishing a dual motor Walmart styrofoam glider conversion... this video is perfectly timed , i think I’m gonna have to try this out. Thanks for taking care of us budget Flyskyers.
Glad to help
Great video thanks. I don't have anything with 2 motors yet, one motor is bad enough lol. This also helps me understand my flysky transmitter like yours and how to mix etc. It is so much better to watch you explain things like this than me trying to read and understand what they are talking about in the manual. Much appreciated and Happy Flying
There's a manual? I just sit down and fiddle with it until it works.
Thank's for not forgetting us poor fellows:)
Haha, never forget
Thank you so much for the explanation. It works perfectly for me on my flysky i6!
A very useful demo.
Hi.thanks for this video. I have Taranis too , now Differential Thrust on my i6.
Great video. I'm trying to opgrade my Delta ray tp brushless and this helpd a lot. THANKS!!!!
No problem 👍
Eminently timely! Chuck gliders on the way, collecting rc bits and a mate's got an i6 just sitting there. Thanks mate from a tech illiterate.
My pleasure
I'm getting my first RC build kit here in a week or two with an I6X Transmitter and my plane is twin engine so this helps a lot.
Jumping in the deep end. You dont need differential thrust but it's fun to play with
Very useful indeed Andrew :)
Muito bom, Newton. Acompanho seus vídeos. Parabéns!
Thanks so much.
Thank You Andrew
Muito bom, profissional, direto, seus vídeos me ajudam muito. Muito obrigado. Deus o abençoe... (Claudemir, Santos-SP Brasil)
Muito obrigado. Saudações ao Brasil
@@AndrewNewton for my controller on the display ch5 and ch6 are different than yours they both is on the right side
@@blueplane8656 You might have switches assigned to 5 and 6?
Nice one, never thought this possible on the humble ai6, still my favourite radio......now do i get that puddlestar with twin motors lol
No excuse now
Hey Andrew
Thanks for your reply.I have set up your recommended mixes on a FS i6X in Mode 2, and find that the motors start running immediately the Tx is switched ON, at zero throttle on Channel 3. Looking at both motors PWM inputs to the two ESC boards on an oscilloscope, I can see that they are inphase, and the same amplitude, but the pulse width is already at 60% duty cycle at zero throttle, and rises to 80% duty cycle at full throttle on the stick on Channel 3.
There is nothing connected to Channel 4, but it is included in Mixes 2 and 3.
Operating the throttle stick in the Channel 4 (Yaw or E-W) directions, gives about another 10% duty cycle to the appropriate motor, and it speeds up a little.
I have been fiddling with the End Points of Channels 3 and 5, trying to get the pulse width to go from 0% to 100%, without any luck. If I connect an external PWM generator to the ESC inputs, I get a full range of RPM, increasing with the duty cycle of the generated PWM signal, from 0% to 100%. So the motors and ESCs are OK. It's likely to be settings on the Tx, I believe.
Any suggestions please?
Regards
Ken McCallum
Very odd Ken. I would delete all mixes and start again.
Thank you sir😘🌈
@ 2:10 & 5:08 You can see the Wing moves around the Yaw Axis😳, Video about the Mixing is very Usefull, THX.
Differential lift?
@@AndrewNewton Rather differential Thrust, make the Wing move back and forth relativ to the Fuselage.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
i feel like you made this video for me andrew ahahah thanks very much!
I might have Jake. Dd you ask the question recently?
Yes I did! Hahaha thanks so much
Great video,have applied this to a tug boat catamaran and works perfect. I have just started with DLG and useing Jumper T-Lite pro. Question? How do I create (1) Launch mode on SW-D and Speed/Cruise/Termal mode useing SW-A with cruise mode being the middle position. Hope this clear and thanks for your input. Cheers. P.S. I need something for "LOCK DOWN"
I have covered them in a few videos. Search for DLG and full house mix
Thanks Andrew these i6 videos save me more than a few head headaches. lol
Love the paint job , but has it melted the foam little?
Just pitted the depron additions a little bit.
@@AndrewNewton I've found a method on TH-cam of coarse.
very light coats from a distance that allows the solvent to mostly evaporate but not to the point of a powdery finish.
This seems to work on the most delicate foams if you have the time .
Thanks. worked fine, since you explained every step, something other videos didnt. Unfortnally, I hit the throttle stick on full by accident after doing this and my plane took off inside my livingroom (my plane has a wingspan of 1.9 meters). ONe engine needs some fixing now :)
Oh no! That would have got your heart pumping
@@AndrewNewton Update... Hot glue fixed it all, and lesson was learned so I took of the props this time! :)
Your video is fantastic .I am building a hovercraft with 2 motors for propulsion .I want to use differential thrust for turning .If i use reversible escs ,will i be able to use this transmitter to reverse the direction of both motors ?
Your reply is much appreciated
Not enough mixes with this radio I suspect.
Great work and presentation!
I use your settings for my two motors bait boat. Is any possibility when I stering my boat one motor go forward and the other backwards?
Would be possible with reversible ESC but I have not tried it
@@AndrewNewton I have them, but I can't figure how to set up the Flysky 🤔
@@mihailescue hi, have you configured the remote control to work the reverse function? and if so, how?
What if my throttle's in the middle position for neutral, but I want it traditionally lowered all the way down for neutral? I have reverse there now.
Hey Andrew Just watched your video on differential thrust. I will try it out on a land vehicle with two non steerable front wheel motors, to achieve steering. One question - did you set the Rx output to PWM and S Bus or i Bus? Cheers Ken
Left it on PWM. Only need the others for flight control board connection
Thanks for this video Andre but I have a question : while you fly is the different thrust Also active?
Becouse while flight I think you would crash if it is active.
I prefer to turn it off for flying but not possible with this radio.
Really good explanation! But i have a question, can we do a 3ch plane with only elevator and differential thrust? Thank you so much
I would think yes, something to test in the future
Would like to se it! Thanks for answer! Cheers
Actually I too did the same settings but still my transmitter shows in display setting at channel 5 and 6 as opposite to yours also when I switch on the motor and giving the rudder left side motor giving different beep sound and not even rotating for normal throttle action. Please help me. I am still working on that.
Do you know if it's possible to set up a mix so that flipping a switch completely reverses one of the other channels? Eg. reverse pitch for flying inverted for long periods, is what I want to do.
Don't think so. Can't assign switches to a mix. You need a Taranis!
Just a thought Andrew,, instead of using ch4, rudder can you use ch1 so the 3 mix supplements the movement of the ailerons? I have a tricky build that may need this. I think mostly caused by not using a matched pair of ESC's though. I have set an offset as descibed on your video but still yet to maiden and I'm wondering how linear the offset will be as I open the throttle!
Wouldn't that make it yaw whenever you did roll corrections? Mismatched ECSs may need some rudder trim tweaking maybe.
Only just seen the reply, thanks. Maiden was a disaster. Massive thrust difference. th-cam.com/video/F0n_xcXAso8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jfRsgR80PDXO0 I now have a matching pair of esc's though that didn't solve the difference in thrust issue. Sorted in the end. It was caused by a poor connection on one phase, (ie, one wire of the three) on one motor. Quick solder job and they both ran the same (with matched ESC's as well.) Video will be out soon on the fix. @@AndrewNewton
You forgot to mention to pull the positive wire from one of your esc plugs going to the receiver, you will be doubling the power to receiver and sending mixed signals to it and stand the chance of releasing the magic smoke.
Hi Andrew nice video. Please I can’t find any information about the best distance between twin motors using as differential for rudder. Is it better as close as possible to que fuselage center or can I space them for more close turns. Can you please help me? Thank you!!!
Thanks. Diff thrust is VERY effective so the motors don't need to be far apart for it to work. I would go by what looks good with maybe 50mm clearance for the props
Thank you so much for the explanaition, I have a question, I've done it but when I increase throttle very slow one of the motors starts and the them the other, is that a problem whem i will fly it? How can i solve it?
A bit of rudder trim maybe? Probably never get them to start exactly the same.
@@AndrewNewton im trying but nothing yet, im worry it wont lead to a crash, im kind of newbie as pilot, thank you so much for answer! Cheers
I just found out that the rader function to move this right and left motor, what does not use an ailleron my friend??
No aileron is OK if you have some wing dihedral
I want to know If you want to insert a gyro, can you use the Mix control program? We didn't plug the signal cable into the channel. Gyro's rudder, but using a method Mix that you teach Will the gyro work normally? will control channel 4 Rudder too?
Usually you cant have any radio mixing on channels plugged into the gyro.
Hi I'm using this transmitter and same mix in this video I want to be able to cut out the throttle on a switch for when I'm steering how would I do this ?
Thanks
I have done a throttle cut video, but it might not be possible with differential also. Look at my FlySKY i6 playlist
How to put the differential thrust to replace rudder if I am using flight stabilizer or flight controller on twin motor.
Without differential thrust it just connect like normal plane (paralel esc).
Not possible with a stabiliser I think
Please can you tell us what r the KV, RC and The size of propeller in the used plane in the video?
All in the build video.
I don't have a rudder on my model but I have 2 motors, do I do everything the same?
Yes, that will work
Hey!! I wanted to ask how to trim differential thrust
Use the rudder trim
Can we do the differential using the aileron instead of Rudder?
You will turn with every roll correction
Can u do this with any open tx radio .and I did this in flysky once but on giving throttle one side is pulling more so it's not going straight . Both motors are the same but still .I didn't get it straighten
Much easier with OpenTX. Might have needed to trim the rudder for straight thrust?
@@AndrewNewton it's a hovercraft so I don't have rudder .
How to you use a aux channel (5,6) to have aielerons
I show how in the flaperons video th-cam.com/video/nct8mG7bykg/w-d-xo.html
What did you put on ch1,2,4,6, and b/vcc?
1 aileron, 2 elevator, 3 motor 1, 4 rudder, 5 motor 2, 6 probably a switch, B/VCC can be battery if you're not using an ESC
@@AndrewNewton ok thanks
Strangest think, Andrew, reversing ch 4 won't reverse left/right. I've had to reverse ch 3 and 6 (my choice to be ch 6). Any idea why? Thanks
Don't know, I'll have to rewatch my video, this is not my usual radio.
@@AndrewNewton I found the problem, I had to change mix #2 to -50% and #3 to +50%
Hi Andrew. I am currently setting this up on a twin engined plane I am building. When I am at full left or right rudder, it only puts the respective motors to about 20% thrust on low rates and at most 50% in high rates. Do you know why this is happening, and how I can fix it? Thanks, Bo
Look at Sport and Normal rates for rudder. Probably cant get more than 50%
@@AndrewNewton Right thanks very much!
Did you change the switches first??
Yes I set up the throttle cut first
is differential throttle possible with fs-i4 transmitter?
I have a fs-A6 reciever.
No, you need a programmable radio
Andrew Newton , not even TANK moving?
Does this also work with a 4ch receiver?
Where would you plug the second ESC in?
In my case I only need two motors. I read that you could plug the esc's into ch1 and ch4 but then it also said they used 4 mixes so I was wondering if you could use the fs-i6 even though it only has three mixes. I totally am a noob so I don't know if this is a dumb question or not.
Best regards
Different radio system I guess. With the FS-i6 the first 4 channels are fixed as Aileron, Elevator, Throttle and Rudder. 5 and 6 are spare channels.
5:05 the wing is moving
its fineeeeeeeeee

If I knew Arabic I could. Can you get automatic Arabic subtitles?
I followe exact same but my one motor is spinning faster
Tricky problem. Try some rudder trim
now add a gyro....video
