Hi Bill,
Hope you had a good trip, reason for being AWOL for the last few days, I had a test done Monday morning at the hospital, that took a couple of day prepping for, if you know what I mean, couldn't get too far from the bathroom for two days and Monday afternoon just layed around . "The older I get, the stranger the test are becoming, either up or down!!!" Also, I started working on my plane trailer adding two shelves, where I took everything out and piled it all in my shop and really lost sight of my "Hornet", but I did finally get to it this afternoon and did the Mode 6 check ---- all the LED'S are lit ---- I will get with you tomorrow afternoon if thats OK, Sorry about all this time delay.

All,
I bought the 1.0 version(I think, it was just when RC Showcase began to send them in august 2006) but never used it yet. What important issue must I know ? I intend to use it with 2 OS 46AX without glow monitoring with a standard FM radio (futaba or JR) on the topflite B25
I would like to know how to securely attach the sensors. I already bought the cylindric magnets, but .... how to do for the sensors ? I saw that some of member of this tread screw it using a black stuff I don't know. I'm very surprise to see screew directly in the engine.
I read too use glue (epoxy) to secure the wire and the sensor. But what is the best way to install the sensor ? In the documentation, I saw something else, but what about vibrations.
I read the review on rcshowcase site, but I can't find such clamps (in France) to hold the sensors
Thanks

Hello, I was a beta tester and found this to be the most simple and reliable way as pictured below. 1st mark the half of the cyl. magnet that illuminates the green LED's on the twin sync unit, and mark that half. That will be the half that faces OUT. Then you can use 3/8" square hardwood stock or 1/4" ply ( NOT METAL or carbon fiber) to bolt to the bottom of the engine mount. Then epoxy the hall sensor to the wood with a 1/16" air gap between the magnet and the hall sensor face with the writing on it. 1/4" ply ensures that vibration will be kept at a minumum. This method works with magnets in the spinner backplate or in the prop driver (hub). This is MUCH better than trying to mount the hall sensor to the cowling (NOT recomended). Hope this helps.

I am setting up the Twinsync with two Astroflight controllers. They are off at a pulse width between 1.45 and 1.5 milliseconds. Above that, they are full on at 1.85 milliseconds. Below that they are in reverse up to 1.1 milliseconds. Right now the motors are doing as commanded by the throttle stick, for the small amount I can use when on the bench and not in the water, but one of the yellow LEDs stays on at idle or off. At full throttle, with the motors disconnected, they are both off. Does it make a difference if the yellow diode stays on? Dan.
Yes it does!!! definitely!!!!... The yellow led should be off at all points below about 1/4 to 1/3 about forward throttle. You need to reprogram the idle point (stop in your case on a boat), the sync point (1/4 throttle forward in your case on a boat) and full throttle point). The led should be off at all points below 1/4 throttle forward. (unless you want syncronized reverse but I will have to think about that before responding....
This boat test will be interesting since you have reverse on the bottom end of the stick. This effectively reduces your forward range to half of what an airplane is. (i.e. 0-100% full throttle versus 50%-100% for full throttle).
Keep me posted and feel free to email or call me or post here...

Bill, I have approximately three flights on my twin Comanche with twinsync. Everything has been fine, but I recently replaced my radio with a Spektrum DX7. I plan to fly tomorrow and noticed the twinsync led's are not as I remember with the Futaba 8uap. I get the independent green lights as the magnets pass the sensors so this is fine. With engines off I am getting two flashing red lights that I don't recall from prior tests. I am not using on-board glow, so I am ussuming this may be normal. I am also getting two yellow lights with throttle anywhere above 20% (nothing below 20%), I thought I should be getting only one. Please let me know if I am good to go, and if there are any issues I should be aware of with the Spektrum radio as it relates to the twinsync. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the call. I'll get back to you in a few days. I'll have to read the intructions more carefully, for one thing, and get the throttle direction staightend out. Dan
Thanks, I realized I have to reset the endpoints for the new receiver. The yellow was off at idle, but I had to raise the idle after initial running of the engines. Once I raised the idle with the trim, it wasn't enough to turn out the yellow light at idle. Engines began to slowly climb from idle by themselves. Then I couldn't get throttle to work after one engine cut-out. I again realized low throttle would not get my throttle back due to the endpoint situation. I am posting this to hopefully help others. All should be well now.
