Perry, no offense intended. I need to become an expert on flawless twin operation, in preparation for flying our 1/6th scale King AIr B200 next year. (on my site at
http://www.nextcraft.com/b200_construction01.html ) It's so sad to see those big twins go down, even at "Top Gun". So, how to prevent that...
Two things:
First, it seems like we have a pretty good start on a "Twins" thread right here, so let's have at it.
Second, I'd appreciate hearing from any of you who have first-hand experience flying large multi-engine models, so I can learn from your experience. (I'm not new to RC, but am new to twins.) Feel free to email me if you like.
So, I'll start things off with some basics:
From those of you who are successfully flying large multi-engine models, what have you found to be the most reliable setup, as far as tank plumbing, throttle management, on board glow, (or not) yaw damping gyros, etc.? Power hasn't been selected for our project yet, so I'm not looking for engine-specific info, just general setup tips.
Thanks in advance to everyone who contributes!
