8FG setup for twin glow engines
I've not found any real help on twin glows using the 8FG. I've set up the current plane just like previous ones when I was using my 8U by using the "Throttle-Needle" (now "fuel mix") and all seems to work fine EXCEPT trim only seems to work on Ch. 3. I can adjust endpoints, needle curve, throttle kill, but no setting seems to allow trim to work on Ch. 8. If this has been previously discussed, I can't find it but would gladly accept a pointer to the answer with the appropriate rap on the knuckles.
Thanks,
Jim

RE: 8FG setup for twin glow engines
If you set up channel 8 as your second throttle channel, you can designate any available control to act as the trim. One way that makes a lot of sense is to set up LD as the left engine's trim, and RD and the right engine's trim. That would leave T3 for something else.
If you want both to trim from T3, then set up T3 as the trim for channel 8.
