Great instructional video!! I really appreciate all your comments and through explanation working with ESC setups and changes. I have on my next plane wish list the Twin Timber. Your fixes made me feel better after seeing your maiden video. THANKS FGFRC 😁
Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar for doing this video. THANK YOU so much for doing so. I have asked some of the other regular You Tuber's to do one but they have failed to do so. But no fault of your own I now have to decide between the beachcraft or the twin timber, lol. Again, THANK YOU for your time and dedication, it will not go unnoticed.
Great demonstration. I just got my Twin and am also having issues getting into the right ESC. I tried a couple times, but it’s good to know that persistence will/should pay off. Maybe someday, we will have an option to turn D/T on/off with a switch.

@@FatGuyFliesRC It is so wonderful she is helping you her work is getting better each video. Your a very lucky man indeed.BTW 8 tries so far and I can not still get into the right ESC I might try leaving the left ESC unplugged
thank you! good grief spektrum interface is a challenge for the uninitiated to all the new fangled features their electronics have these days. I got my pop's twimber all set with reverse thrust and differential off. good to go. and thank you also for the foam safe adhesive suggestion. cheers
Thank You ! good information. my right aileron is going in slo-motion.... i will buy Beacon, hold the foam. many thanks ! God Bless "You and Mrs. Camera Crew" 🛩
Awesome video. Almost makes me think about buying one of these bird just to piss around with diff thrust and hammer heads. 😮 I bet it does them well . Watching on my TV comments on cell phone.
@Fat Guy Flies RC Yea, I get that , you don't get to enjoy taking your favorite planes to the field is a bummer. I'll stick to having 5 planes, but Watching my favorite you tube channels makes up for not having the room or money to buy all the ones I'd like to own but won't. I'm retired and sorta have the time but my honey doe list screws with my free flying time. 😌
Hello my friend I have a quick question. Does the throttle trim need to be lowered all the way to get into the smart programming menu. I can’t even get into one of the ESC‘s right now and it’s pissing me off. One of my motors is spinning the correct direction and the other is not. Thanks for your help ahead of time
Is it the same process with a DX8e transmitter? I noticed you were using a NX10. I have everything set just like you, High rate, and in AS3X. i cant seem to pull up the ESC menu on my transmitter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update your DX8e and if you can then see forward programing then you should be able to get to the esc menu. Remember you have only 10 to 15 seconds to get into the menu from the time you plug in the battery. 100 throws and SAFE off!
Many Thanks for Your'sw videos. In this, when configuring the percentage of the Differential in the ESC, it is verified that both in Motor "1" and in Motor "2" the Rotation is in "CW", therefore, believing that the "Motor "1" (Left = Red) is correct, I ask: shouldn't Engine "2" (Right=Green) logically be "CCW"? Thank You for your attention.
I also just purchased a "TWIN TIMBER 1.6 BNF Basic" and in the first 2 flights I had piloting problems where I had to make emergency landings. In the first case because the Rudder Servo had become detached from its place and in the second because the left Aileron Servo had been "burned". As such, I wasn't happy with the Horizon Hobby either because nothing justifies these "anomalies" in such expensive materials.
Horizon Hobby???? Technical Support??? It's much better not to ask them anything because they don't know, or they don't want to tell us or they send us to """CONSULT THE UA-cam TUTORIES AND VIDEOS....!!!!!""" Poor of "us"If these videos didn't exist on UA-cam!!!
it is the same procedure as any esc. With the Radio on at FULL throttle THEN plug in the plane , wait for the Spektrum dance then after the first beep lower the throttle.
Don't want differential thrust? How to turn on reverse? I cover that here with the E-Flite twin Timber or TWINBER!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

if I can steer you, get the Beechcraft D18 , better looking and has very good retracts, does good in grass.
yahoo buck-a-roo you explained that perfectly. bravo FGFRC good job gob bless
Thank you! thank you!
It's Wednesday. My plane is coming Friday. And you've already helped me, and I don't even have the plane yet. Thanks for the post
Awesome and your welcome.
Thanks for the lesson. ESCs can be confusing. Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!

Yeah that would be easier.
Thank for digging into this. Never knew that ESC menu existed.
Yep you get smart tech wither you want it or not.lol

Thank you! You have helped others through your issues with Horizon.
Then the effort was worth it, Thanks!
I gave up after about 20 tries to connect to ESC 2 and finally plugged it into my programmer.
Yeah you only have a few seconds to get into the second esc.
Thanks for a straight forward easy explanation !!! nice...😎👍👍
Thanks so much!
Good instructional video Greg👍👍 Your wife could make it better with perfect camera placement on the next one.
She has just recently started helping in my "Man Cave " videos.

Well I teach from my self taught perspective. if I can figure it out anyone can. And thank you!!

Very informative

Yeah , my issue is I just cant keep flying it all the time. people get tired of the same ole planes on my channel.

Yes zero throttle and throttle cut needs to be on if I remember right.
Thank you!
You're welcome!

I agree , more quality and control is needed!
Yes the right is ccw.
Show how to put differential thrust on a switch on /off. 👍👍😊😊
At this time it is not an option, it is with reverse however. Perhaps if they update the smart ESCs then they could.
I think the Boogy Man lives inside my transmitter.
Then he does not stay there cause he visits mine too.
I've asked everyone AT horizon, they have no clue!🤷♂️
I wanted DT off since day 1!
It would be simpler with it off.

If you want to operate motors safely, you could replace the props with discs coloured with black and white stripes.
I had though about pop cycle sticks also but after I had already done the video.
Thanks for the video Greg! Can you please show how to do ESC throttle calibration on Avian ESC?
it is the same procedure as any esc. With the Radio on at FULL throttle THEN plug in the plane , wait for the Spektrum dance then after the first beep lower the throttle.
'0%' is NO diff thrust, correct? (To be sure).
Then again too, could assign dt to a switch to turn it off/on🤔. Ideas ideas (iX20se)
Yes 0% is DT off.
Possible , it would have to be an additional feature added to the ESC menu. possibly through an update.
Ha I didn't know that it had two esc's
Yes. it does
