RE: [FlyRotary] Re: Absolute pressure boost controller

Very cool, and faster than you can say guinea pig three times :-)

Glad to be your guinea pig. Actually now that the test hours are complete I feel like I can experiment again. And since boost control at varying altitudes seems to be one of the biggest drawbacks to the turbo, I'm more than willing to try to solve this for the benefit of others as well as myself... but I'll charge an experimenters fee of a couple of free beers, from anybody who uses it after it's been proven.. :-)

        I was unsure of spending up to $500 for it, but when I phoned a couple of places and was quoted $650, I pretty much decided not to use it, then the last place I was calling offered it for $470 and suddenly I felt like I was getting a bargain and quickly gave my CC#. After I realized it was $502 with tax, I felt like I was a bit of a financial idiot. Oh well it's only money! Then the mill went down due to an upset condition and they need a couple of instrument mechanics to stay over on overtime, so I'm $till here nearing 16 hour$, so now I once again don't feel so bad about $pending the money.

        Let's just hope it works well.
