Subject: [FlyRotary] Turbo boost
limits in the EC2
I just had a conversation with Tracy while
ordering my EM2.
We discussed ways to detect and limit
overboost. I suggested that the EC2 is watching MAP anyway, so it could
spot a user programmable boost limit - e.g. 50 MAP being exceeded, and cut
the training coils until the MAP drops below it. At first glance Tracy felt
this was fairly easy to do. He has the MAP data and control of the coils
there anyway, so it would just be a few lines of code [my words,
not Tracy's] to implement.
I agreed with Tracy to run it by the other
blow hards to see if there was a consensus on whether this would be worth the
effort on his end.
