way to go ray

good job with a great explaination

one more note

max rpm drops out the egt ( exhaust gas temp ) setting thus your engine will not shut down on a spike reading which can happen in obvious manuevers...so its important to set it.....i have seen guys not set it and fly which i never do

also always look at your vamx that you mentioned before because it will tell you about issues that are going on...for example i know of a old salt flyer who swithed to jetcat and he crashed his plane....after 150 flights he got so lazy he just auto started everytime and his fuel filter glogged and shut down his jetcat..upon inspection it was filled with gunk and if he were amt and using his edt and reading it he would of seen his vmax going up and up....you can also see the vmax on a jetcat edt but then you have to touch your jet ....personally i like touching mine and in doing so i have piece of mind of it`s present condition

one thing an amt wont do is

start in your trailer and then burn down your trailer because you forgot to shut off your plane and someone else on the same channel started his...ouch....i think they got the dumb ***** award of the year for that one
