We had a Cessna 337 on our line for charter use at one time. It had a
sync gauge. Strangely enough, whenever I had occasion to fly this
bird I always ended up syncing the props by ear. You could easily
feel if one of them was out even by a small amount of RPM.
Logically the smallest differences would also be the most annoying,
since they would result in such slow variations. And in theory you
should be able to eliminate them by adjusting RPM manually. But since
the Baron has a prop sync switch it occurred to me that perhaps the
RPM levers aren't precise enough to make it easy to sync the props
(?).
I'm still not clear on whether or not this switch actually moves the
prop levers or what.
I know, send me $200 and I'll tell you fjukktard
