Bill,

Just out of curiosity, what if one of those "V-tail mixer devices" was added in the throttle linkage setup? Of the two servos, one would serve as the 'volume' and the second would adjust the 'balance', allowing in-flight adjustable (albeit manual) sync. I know it would add complexity to an airplane but it would probably still be simpler (and a lot cheaper) than one of the electronic sync units mentioned above.
I have never used a “V-tail mixer” and simply don’t know. But I do believe the engine out alert is more important than synchronization.
