[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)
It seems then even simpler than Webra solution would be to use a "Smart" On-board Glow Plug driver.
Because the changes in RPM will change the Glow-plug Temperature, that will be "printed" on the Ohmic
Resistance on the Glow Plug and so on.
I.e. the Question is then:
- Is there well programable Microcontroller inside of some glow-plug-drivers which can be used to
optimise the Engine in the Air, especially in that Upoad RPMs, instead using for that
the Webra system ?

I guess in the Gas-engines that is well in use for the electronic Ignition to advance the
spark timing. Thus, those better electronic ignition systems have such Inteligent feature
inside of the Ignition Micro-controller ?
