Flying these, what engines are primary? How do you match them? Can you control the wing engines separately?
I believe EAA's 4-AT that I just flew in is currently fitted with three Pratt and Whitney R-985 engines (I think they are the 300hp versions). I am not too knowledgeable on radial engines.

I did not work the three individual throttle levers, but my buddy after leveling off played with them a bit to get them somewhat synced up before giving me the controls.
