Hi Bill, thanks for your reply. I had previously read your post concerning the different syncronization techniques, but I could not find an underlying reason as to WHY one would go to the trouble. (I had no doubt there was one, I just couldn't fid it!) I've had many great flights with my Twinstar and noticed only a little out-of-syncronization beating, but it's been so minor and never caused me any issues that I'm aware of. (I did spend a fair bit of time ensuring the linkages were as close as I could get them before flying.) Incidentally, due to nagging engine difficulties I've also had quite a few single engine landings, and without any of the bad habits mentioned in other threads on the Twinstar...

Dan, I too like your idea for synching on the fly. I imagine this could also easily be accomplished entirely electronically with a computer radio. I do have extra channels, so I'll have to give this one a try.

Thank you all for your wisdom. I've been bitten by the twin bug and am now working on "kitbashing" a new twin of my own, so I figured I'd better do a bit of asking where I felt thin on knowledge...
