PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL – August 18, 2018
One of the actions happening parallel to many others, is final development of the throttle-by-wire system. Electrical engineer and consultant Ryan Dillon is shown here working on the system, measuring variable resistance from the gas pedal so we can calibrate the pedal motion and sync it with our computerized ignition system for the engine. The Motec computer is being used to dial in the road and flight requirements for the engine, and road testing of the engine and transmission is one of our next big goals.
