fitting sound module to a tug that has 2 motors and a mixer
Hi Folks Thank you all for your advice. I think I may have found the solution using my Tx. Speaking to a fellow club member at the pond today I noticed that he had the same Tx and also flew model aircraft. He advised activating the V-Tail u …

fitting sound module to a tug that has 2 motors and a mixer
Hi Tomarack - yes I suggested that option of connecting a mixer in my first post on 28th July and I think it's a good one as a human is involved in the mixing scheme rather than some pre-determined mathematics which may not suit everyone or …

fitting sound module to a tug that has 2 motors and a mixer
I have on my model Lulonga quarterwheeler control the direction by changing the speed of individual motors. I use an external V-tail mixer and mix Throttle (can 3) and ailerons (CAN 1). Without problems, one control stick. I think it's more …

Cormorant - I'm not in my own back yard here, but v-tail mixers for elevons mix the elevator channel with the aileron channel. So I assume you would need to use those same (aircraft) sticks on the TX - unless like Haverlock you have a Taran …

your rudder needs to be fed as does your second ESC so you need a "y" lead to connect both your ESC and your rudder servo to the same output. if you want to have control on one stick you could use a elevon mix ( elevator/aileron ( see page …

fitting sound module to a tug that has 2 motors and a mixer
Thanks for that, it seems a mixer is the best way forward. Couple of points:- 1.I assume I can use one stick for this operation. The rudder and elevator are on different sticks - rudder and throttle are on the same. 2. Not having used a mix …

If you wish to use a Spektrum DX6i then I can only offer the idea to use the "v tail " mix and connect your 2 ESCs to receiver outputs for rudder and elevator. You can take a "y" lead connection to the rudder servo. The reason I said the ta …

Hello Alan Permission to join this forum? Octman and I are old school friends and have been modelling on and off for 50 years. He and I have been trying, in vain so far, to use the mixer on my Spektrum DX6i. I am building an Aeronaut Pilot …

Agreed! - if you have a number of models requiring mixing, the additional cost of a Taranis over a more humble TX (mixer per model) will soon pay for itself as you can implement free mixers in all of them. But not everyone can cope with pro …

I was being serious, using a modern Tx Rx setup removes the need for mixers in the model. With free mixing on the Tx you have a much more flexable situation than a dedicated unit in the model.

fitting sound module to a tug that has 2 motors and a mixer
However we can simplify the whole thing 1) buy a taranis RC Tx and Rx 2) feed each ESC from its own channel 3) set up the mixing on the Tx 4) set the motor sounder on its own channel now you can have a mixer for throttle/rudder and have ind …

Your honesty does you credit - you sir, are a true gentleman - so much so I've heard, that you'd never dream of wiping your nose on the tablecloth if you could possibly reach the curtains!

Hey we haven't had a pissing contest in a while, on reflection I think I am wrong anyhow!!! How's that for honesty?

~laughs~ if your mixer increases throttle with rudder input then I agree what you said would be true!!! its an interesting proposition so the feed to each ESC. is an integration of both signals. How do you handle low speed turns? I expect g …

Oh dear, as a humble seaman I must defer to a Captain's authority and wealth of experience - maybe we are talking about two fundamentally different systems? As I make my own mixers I don't have a great deal of experience of using other offe …

If the sound module is connected to the throttle before the mixer then the sound you get would be a full throttle sound in the situation you outline since the throttle is at full but the rudder input is causing the one forwards one back out …

Hi Octman - a bit late now (and I've only just discovered this forum!) but if you'd used my mixer it has a "throttle out" signal which is the faster (fwd or rev) of the two outputs that drive the ESCs. in your case the best option is to con …

advice on motor setup for 54" live steam tug
Have a look here http://www.mobilemarinemodels.com/ They do some beefy low revving high torque motors and I suspect a phone call to them would result in some advice.

Thanks, that's basically what I said in my original posting, so thanks for the confirmation. I think the fitting betweem Rx and mixer is probably the one I will use.
Forum

You could fit it twixt the Rx and the mixer since its a "pass though" module and bases its output on the throttle setting directly from throttle output is place to fit. Your mixer will mod the signal ( that's what its supposed to do) so you …

Southampton Tug: stern tubes
I have recently acquired one of these via E.Bay and am wondering about the stern tubes. Do these need lubrication? If so how do I do it, and with what sort of lubricant? Chris
