Would it be possible to have 6 completely independent motors operation on a radio system? Or does something have to by synchronized?
Eg radio: http://centralhobbies.com/radiosNser...j69-main-2.jpg <<< Is it possible to program this radio in such a way?

You could easily do that! Motors, meaning electric? Right? You could even do it with 6 engines!

Example 1. 6 channels-mix every channel to the throttle -vuola!

Example 2. 5 "y" connecters to the throttle.

Example 3. 4 "y" connecters. 3 motors to the throttle and 3 motors to a spare channel, which you could mix to the throttle!

PS: There are more as well!!

I get that he is asking to be able to independently control all six motors, which would take a fairly sophisticated radio, like the JR 9303. Even then, I think this would leave only room for aileron, elevator and rudder. This is the beginner's forum. An airplane with six motors/engines is certainly not a beginners project. As far as being doable, in this hobby, if there is a will, there is a way!

Even with that radio there still would be no independent operation of the engines. The channels that the engines were hooked to--if separate from the throttle, would have to be slaved to one of the four main channels for it to work right. I suppose you could vary the thrust angles of the engines and then hook some to the throttle, some to the elevator, and some to the rudder--in essence you would have climb and yaw controlled by thrust differential--not unlike the cheap foamie type planes you can buy in the super markets. This would be the only way. If you want a truly 6 engine plane with conventional controls--rudder, elevator, and ailerons, then you will not want the engines turning at differenty RPMs, you will want them to all be synchronized as close as possible to avoid disaster. Go to the twins/multi forum for more answers.

Thanks, this is much appreciated
