The most important thing I think is fuel usage but it doesnt seem to do that. Nice none the less
Yes that would be a very nice addition, however to be able to see the running condition while flying and be able to alert on unusual conditions is also pretty useful, maybe with some time and effort it would be possible to create an alert about a flame out condition, possibly based on RPM or EGT? Note also that the STi app allows for data logging, so it is possible then to correlate flight data against GPS data - adding in the G sensors would also create some interesting stats to look at.

Quandry - No problem to have the sti and ipad connected to the same telemetry tx as the dx18?
Yes it's no problem at all, the bind procedure is to connect the STi to the ipad and start the app, power on the RX (while holding down the bind button on the TM1000), then click the bind button on the iPad app, finally enter bind mode on the TX and it all syncs up. Be wary of binding on carbon or steel reflective surfaces, and if it doesn't work at first then try with the TXheld a little distance away (1 or 2 metres). I've found the process to be very reliable. The only part that is tricky is that the bind button on the TM1000 is recessed and very small, you need a tooth pick to actuate it so sometimes a second pair of hands helps depending on where it's mounted in the model.

Can two sensors be adapted for twin engine applications?
I don't know for sure but my gut reaction is no, I didn't notice anything in the config which would allow for engine 1, engine 2 etc however I could be wrong. Would be a very interesting functionality to see in place so even if it's not there now it may be on the way in a future release?
