What say you to the usefulness of a 70mm throttle body for a turbo 3
rotor? What size is ideal? Seems I remember some discussion on this
previously.

In an aircraft with Tracy's computer any pressure drop across the throttle
body is a loss of power. The bigger the better up to the point where
you cannot measure the pressure drop. I guess around 100 mm to be that
point.
