Default Twin Turbine issue

Having engine issues in a Twin F18.

Would really like to know what others are using for: Receiver and Engines

Have you had any RPM crosstalk issues? Have never seen any but have some anomaly issues.

Just want to know others setup that have been SOLID !!!

Thanks, Tom

For radio Powerbox Core with some sort of power management box depending on the size of jet.

For engines, good luck with Jet Central, Kingtech, and Swiwin (in no particular order). If they are mounted identically try clocking them, I've seen cross talk between twins that one of the RPM sensors is picking up the wrong engine, turning them both 35 or 40 degrees opposite each other resolved the issue.

Default Crosstalk

Take a look at MU metal, from aircraft spruce. It shields magnetic fields.

I have a Skymaster Mig 29 with 2 Jet Central Cheatahs, and I don’t have any problems with crosstalk. The engines are about 7 inches apart. They are mounted normally with no tilt.


Good luck

I've seen this in 15's and 18's where the engines are very close

Rotating the motors to miss align the direction of the RPM sensor typically does the job.
