Default RE: How much does an engine "unload" in the air?

[link=http://home.wanadoo.nl/pereivers/regulated_fuelsupply/a_regulated_fuel_supply.html]This [/link]setup does about the same, at a fraction of the trouble you have to go to with the Webra system. Webra tries to, in a simplified way, reach the results of fully computer controlled lean burn modern automotive engines. I would call that a pipe dream. Nice to fill an idle evening with. It is not economical feasible to incorporate such a system in our model engines, unless a two servo system can be programmed into a pic-processor BY THE MANUFACTURER, and not by the end user. The engine then comes with a carb and two servos as one unit, not to be tampered with. (or equivalent system)

I am a bit sad, but also a bit amused about the reactions concerning my last post. I think, No, I am convinced, that theory (if proven it becomes law!) is the only one way to approach things. If something happens, there is a cause for it to happen. Knowing as much causes as possible opens up a spectrum of solving possibilities. Knowing less causes makes it easier to define one's point of view, but that need not be the right one. Now. 40-some years after that first knowledge clash, I have come to the understanding how little we are allowed to learn. Theory can be learnt in a very short time. Without it there would be no progress, because the little we are allowed to learn in a lifetime would not be sufficient to increase the level of thinking as laid down by our predecessors.
