thanks in advance.
I remember in the ductedfan era there was a British company making a small device where you could connect a single RX throttle channel and second channel input (ie Flaps) and two throttle output channels. This way you could lock one engine to idle while working on the other, for example flaps 120% down or another free channel.

Would be relative easy to design and make by some electronic company's in rc modelling?

I would be interested!
