RE: Eletronic engine syncronizer - no joke
OK guys... I am releasing the product now and shipping RC Showcase's inventory today!!!
I have been wrestling with one last issue I wanted to get to the bottom of. To explain this last issue it was basically spark noise was being picked up by the sensor wires on magneto equipped gas engines. I have long heard not to use metal push rods to connect to the throttle on a gas engine. The problem is much worse than I expected when running a wire by the engine that is connected to the twinsync. The good news is that it appears even if noise gets into the TwinSync it does not get into the receiver.
So I am going to have to add a few cautions... Magnetos are worse than Electronic ignitions. Rubber spark boots are a very bad thing - Only Bosch shielded plug caps should be used. If you see RF interference after these steps you may need to shield the sensor wires with the shield grounded to radio ground. Run the sensor wires as far away from the engine and ignition system as possible.
No issues have been seen on glow. EI Gas engines are working fine. Stock Zenoah engines introduce RF noise into the sensor wires and result in erratic behavior. They can been cleaned up with a bosch plug cap.
