I myself am planning to fit a 2nd servo on the teststand that has no other function than to move a big dial indicator so the throttle position and movement are clearly visible in the video.
Thats a good idea Bert.. I will incorporate that when I get a chance. I find myself looking for cues from the linkage if I can but some times its hard to tell looking back trying to decipher and diagnose the runs afterwards..

I haven't started into slow down setting on this one yet and I think it needs some work in this area.. With only RPM following it was OK but as soon as I introduced curves (bias) I could tell the pressure was leading the engine on certain occasions and needed a quick manual "lean adjustment" for a second to clear out before returning to the called for setting.
