Is there any transmitters that have dual throttle controls? This is why I'm asking. Being a flight sim junkie and having all of the rudder peddels and yoke controls why not build a a portable cocpit that will control an rc transmitter. It has been done way back in the 50's or early 60's I have seen a few pics. just think how cool it would be to fly your plane using real controls. A camera in the plane and a display. I know the military has this but is this available to us?

If its for a sim there use to be boat tx's that had double throtal sticks, i dunno if there still made but take a look around...

If you're going to that much work, why not two transmitters and two receivers?

WE'LL THATS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. IT MAY ADD TOO MUCH WEIGHT TO THE PLANE.

IMO an RC airacraft would be very difficult with twin throttles. any throttle split while advancing or retarting power would probably induce too much yaw, the further from the fuselage the worse the yaw would be. How many twins crash because they're single engine.
I didn't say it couldn't be done just difficult.
I think 2 transmitters would be the way to go one for throttle, one for the controls, then you need a copilot. the down side of that would be making a call for power and waiting for the copilot to react.

How about something like this...Saw it at a fly-in in northern Indiana in 2003...

I've flown a couple of twins with seperate throttles.
Did this to investigate single motor handling.
Each motor had a seperate channel.. ch 3 and ch 6.
Ch 6 was mixed to ch 3 so the usual throttle could control both motors.
But the mix could be turned off and each motor throttled individually.

COOL, I'LL LOOK INTO THIS. ERIC

That portable cockpit is wicked. that would be so much fun.

The ground pilot thingie is neat!
Working rudder pedals, a seperate throttle..

WOW THAT IS A VERY COOL SET UP. LOOKS LIKE IF I TRY TO BUILD ON OF THESE I'LL HAVE MY WORK CUT OUT.

The JR XP9303 has twin engines controls on it...you can set up the right and left engine, with trim..I have it for all my multi engine planes....Check it out
