Jun 26, 2019 at 16:42 comment added Harry Svensson I don't think the RPM matters, you want to control your airplane, so look at the system as a whole instead of your arbitrary definition of a partial good control which you believe is same RPM. - Why don't I think that RPM matters? Or rather, why do I think that other factors play a larger role? - Size of propeller, direction of wind entering the propeller, distance from center of gravity for each propeller. You might be able to sync them, but you're probably going to control your airplane just as good if it wasn't synced.

Jun 26, 2019 at 14:22 comment added Janka If I understood your problem correctly, you have one motor output from your RC receiver and want to hook up two motors to it. You can simply do this in an antiparallel fashion. Given the motors are identical and the countertorque from the propeller is identical, the speed will be the same to a very small difference.
