That's really interesting - on a t-prop the only thing that makes sense to the airplane is to match torques, so there's no rudder trim required. I can't understand why a pilot wants to match ff or temps - can you shed any light on that?

BTW, on a ride I once had in a Falcon 20, the pilot liked to match fan speeds for the same reason you sync the prop rpms - to zero out the "beat" or difference frequency between the L & R fans.
