Default RE: Eletronic engine syncronizer - no joke

I know, I know that rudder input is the only way to save an engine out condition in a twin. And I also realize I am weak in that area. I learned to fly on ailerons and am a firm believer that ailerons are the last control that should be learned. But that is for another forum. My single engine experience has not given me a lot of deadstick situations for I am a firm believer in meticulously tuning engines and then leaving them alone. I have watched guys tune and re-tune on every flight and they have far more deadstick experience than I do.

With those things in mind I feel, that as described here, the engine synchronizer would give me one or two seconds to think, another area that I am not very swift at.

And thanks everybody for all the tips and advice, it's what RCU is best at (other than starting arguments).
