Default twin turbine operation?

In the process of building an SU27 with 2 JPX260P's and wondering how to set up throttle(s) for a twin operation. Using a Futaba 8U-do you do a master/slave set up. The start up process has me a little bamboozled. Maybe the answer is do a manual start on each engine, and then switch Tx on? Also for you guys with experience with a side by side engine configuration, what kind of control problems occur with the asymetrical thrust with an 'engine out'? Maybe this is too academic to make generalizations about, but any advise appreciated.

Yes, the minihobby twin module is great. Foolproof operation once set, and minimum wiring to install.
