I agree, that's not acceptable. But it's not inevitable. My
rotary is going to have a fully duplexed/redundant electronic
fuel control and ignition system. I can switch back and forth
between side 1 and side 2 in flight or alternate on even and odd
numbered days. The system captures the data it uses to control
injector pulse width and displays it as MAP, Fuel Flow, Intake
Temp, RPM, etc. It is programmable so it can be installed on a
wide variety of different engines. It cost's about $800
complete. That's EIGHT HUNDRED. For the whole shebang, panel
display and all.
Why spend big bucks when I can go first class for less .... Jim
