The reason I asked is because of the other power system not already mentioned. I have been pretty much all electric for a couple of years now under Rick Sawicki's toutalage. The Adamisin clan has also worked with Rick and myself and we have had discussions among us about the idea. I think Dennis has one under way. My concern is the same with electric. With our governor systems the motor just keeps pouring on power to hold constant rpm, more like a 4 stroke runs. Though we do get a big increase in power in doing that, much like a tuned pipe but much faster and essentially the power increase to hold rpm is only limited by the power available in the system. Since we are able to download the data with some of the systems we can see the percentage of power we are using, optomize our power draw to the power available which will be different with each battery, motor, prop configuration, even with different line lengths. I've got a NIB saito 40 that has been wanting a home and thought I would see if anyone has done it. I fly a lot of 3D in RC and the way the old fox .35's 2-4-2 is just ideal for it. I think the answer to it in electric will eventually come from the fully active power control systems like those the europeans used at the worlds this summer are developing. Still the electric and 4 stroke systems have a lot in common so I'm bassically surfing for info.
But of course there is still that Saito in the box.
