I seem to remember you set up your Rv8/20B originally with the Rx8 fly = by wire throttle. Did you end up using it and developing a controller for it? If so: 1. Are you willing to share the hardware and code you used? 2. Current consumption? 3. Most importantly our thoughts on the value or otherwise of fbw? (true = single lever/pot! or perhaps just another failure mode) Cheers Steve Izett Perth Western Australia
