Bob,

Hi Bob,

I would be interested in the idle speed as well.  I couldn't idle below
around 1600 or so in the plane but that was mostly because the redrive
started rattling.  In the Alpine (car) I will be putting the engine in,
I would like something below 1000 I think. =20

Also, a while back I asked Tracy if he could put a rev limiter function
in the EC2.  Since I won't have a load on the engine when I start it,
there isn't any protection against my own stupidity.  He said it's
already in there for his latest upgrades.  Anything over 7500 rpm will
cut fuel flow until the rpm drops below 7500, then turn it on again.
That should take some of the danger out of running without a prop, and
keep me from blowing the engine up in the car if I start it with my
foot holding the throttle half open.
