FW: 2011; Future Power Control for F2B Motors
Joan McIntyre
Hi everyone,
I, too, agree and would support any proposed investigation into allowing governance of IC engines which would do much to keep the playing field level for electric and IC engines.
Kind regards,
Joan McIntyre.

Hi All,
I totally agree with Igor and Paul on this. To those that believe that it makes everything too technical and will put our event out of reach to those without huge budgets, this is not true. It could even make it cheaper, because with an electronic or mechanical governor you can then use a basic R/C engine without the need for a pro-stunt engine. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Those that do not want to use these systems can carry on using their existing systems like the straight-forward Retro 60 for example. This is a readily available no-frills engine that has an excellent record in world-wide competition.
I wanted to produce a timer system for engines, and with the experience that I have gained from my governor-timer for electric stunt, I was going to add a governor for engines anyway. I know that the present rules do not allow this, but I just enjoy the experimenting. If the rules do indeed allow this in the near future, then I sincerely believe that we will have taken a good step forward.
Regards,
Keith Renecle

All,
I agree with Igor. We should allow governing of IC engines similar to electric engines. As stated, we already have some of that now with tuned pipes, pressure regulators, etc.
Let's keep the field level to all types of power.

IC engines has specifically allowed systems for power controll like
fuel pressure and tuned pipes, while electric power train uses
governors as equivalent of tuned pipe or sensors trying simulate 4-2-4
run of IC engine. So I do not think IC are too much discriminated in
this case, may be the quality or chances of tuning are better on
electric. But real discrimination is for sure in flight time, electric
power train has exact timers.
Since all devices used in electric power train are convertible to
servo throttle controll on IC (including all mechanical devices), I
would say we can allow all of them for IC too. I already heard several
voices calling for that, so I think we can support it.
