I'm going to switch my electric float plane with 2 motors from my Futaba to my X10S. I have each motor set up on a seperate channel. I have a switch set up to couple the throttle on the motors to the rudder. This way on taxi out as I move the rudder to the right I will get more throttle on the left motor and when I move the rudder stick to the left I get more throttle on the right motor. This helps with taxing out from the shore.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this in OpenTX
I just found a video on line on how to do this.

Re: Variable Speed on Motors
With electric powered twin motor models, the programming must slow down the inner motor, not speed up the outer. The way you had it creates a dangerous situation in which with the motors stopped, applying rudder can cause one motor to start. Make sure the video does it the right way.rwilabee wrote:I'm going to switch my electric float plane with 2 motors from my Futaba to my X10S. I have each motor set up on a seperate channel.
