Last post on previous page shows a couple pics of the uni-directional needle roller clutches I installed in the hubs of last trl. A sharp turn, like near end of vid, last trl is on rudder ch, all the way right reverses motors so they will not engage - free roll. Lead trl is on throttle ch (I prefer to drive with my right thumb on elevator ch), I have to pull back on left stick a bit to keep from pushing rear of tractor sideways.

Whenever I turn at about 45 degree or less, it's at half speed, the motors aren't working at full power they tend to behave like an open differential to some extent & usually no added tx stick movement necessary. Both trl chs on Slave are mixed with tractor being Master.
