DOES THE UAP-S HAVE A SEPARATE CHANEL WITH A 5 POINT CURVE TO SLAVE TO THE THROTTLE CHANEL TO HELP SYNC TWO MOTORS?

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A ZIROLI P 38 AND THIS INFO WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

THANKS

You can slave any channel via one of two 5-point mixes to throttle. I did this with my TF DC-3 to match RPMs precisely at idle, mid-throttle and wide open. I can't remember which channel I used, but that's not too important (just pick 6, 7, or 8 based on your setup). Note that you will have to use another mix to slave that channel to itself with 0% throw so the knobs on the face of the radio don't control the channel.

Keep in mind that RPM to thrust is not a linear relationship. I use the Thrust-HP program to figure the RPM at idle thrust, 1/4 thrust, 1/2 thrust, 3/4 thrust, and full thrust. This gives me the proper 1/2 thrust at 1/2 throttle.

Not to get too far off the thread topic, but props on multi-engined planes should always be first matched by verifying identical RPM on the same engine.
