No.  Although the RX-8 throttle controller will be redundant, = my=20 strategy for fail-safe on this item is to have a separate (small) = throttle body=20 for heated & filtered air which will allow enough power to sustain = level=20 flight as well as taxi power.  The main air inlet will be unheated = and=20 unfiltered.
