Paul,

According to Kas Thomas at TBO, Continental is a few
weeks from certification of a Full Authority Digital Engine
Control (FADEC).  They have been flying a IOF-240
(Injected Opposed FADEC, with 240 cu. in.)  and a
Lyc too.   They recently bought Mattituck, apparently to
put the Lyc version into their overhauled engines and
get market penetration on both brands.  Supposed to be
a full "single lever" system with MAP, mixture, timing
and prop all optimized at all times.

Now - what will it cost!!??   Yikes. probably two arms
and two legs.
