Tracy's new fly by wire throttle.
I guess it could be done so he did it :)

This is the throttle from the RV-8?. With a P-port manifold to
could it be used between the compressor and the intercooler?

Hmm .....combined with his electronic mixture control and an
electric C/S prop, the control panel real estate area for these
three item becomes very small. Game like.  Failure mode with
the E-throttle would best be  W.O.T. I
presume.


I have a central control stick in my design now with arm
rests built into the sides of the plane.   Just a thought
and perhaps only  an experiment. I would like to mount an
auxiliary electronic side joy stick coupled to the
auto pilot servos so the plane in that mode would be
Fly-By-Wire in a sense.

Touching the manual control stick would disengage the
auto pilot and/or side joy stick reverting back to
manual inputs to the cables.

Yep the RX8 throttle is fly by wire. I have never been
able to get it to open more than 80%. I guess the air is too
hot around here.

As I said recently what you really NEED in an airplane
is two magnetos and a carb :) In other words KISS.

BTW where in the world are you? I thought you were on your way to
Placerville. Call me from Lancaster if you need help.
