RE: Eletronic engine syncronizer **SUPPORT **
Well, I ordered and received both the TWIN-SYNC and the optional Display.....
I’ve been evaluating the Twin-Sync on my DA50’s and it appears to function as advertised. I’m an engineer myself and will write up a review of this product when I’ve completed my setup.
I have to say at this time that the quality of this product’s lacking severely. I found some really bad soldering on the backside of the Twin-Sync module, particularly jumpers that were added, but also component leads that were cut off after soldering (can cause fractures in the solder). I will fix these myself.
Anyway, it’s not my mission to bash this product but rather to bring these issues up as the manufacture is clearly amateurish. I like this product and believe in it and want it to succeed. Having said that, it won’t if it becomes the cause of loss of aircraft rather than a device that improves the aircraft’s survivability.
Now, the Display Module I purchased to (I thought) to aid me in the setup is completely non-functional. It’s displays “jibberrage”……It’s no mystery to me as to why…..
I’ll let the photos of the delivered product speak for themselves but this is not a warranty issue but rather a quality issue.
I would never install a device in one of my airplanes looking like this……
Hopefully, I won’t need to send this thing in for warranty it’s clearly junk and I don’t wish to spend more money on it.
I don’t think it’s common practice to gouge one’s soldering iron tip into the plastic housing of the LED display IC’s in order to solder an inaccessible connector……tisk, tisk, tisk (wagging finger)...
Oh, and lastly there are virtually no instructions on what/how to use it; not even a simple sentence telling you which way is UP...If it worked it probably would be intuitive but of course mine didn't.....QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY.......
