Thanks Mark The engine runs fine at full power. The evidence is mounting that the EFS-3A in the Corvair application may not work exactly as the theory explains. As with anything aviation related that I purchase I just want to understand it before I rely on it. Just my way of managing my risk

Weather finally cooperated today and I got some high speed runs in today. Could fly tomorrow but I am a bit concerned as I seem to have no mixture control on the EFS-3A. I pull full lean and it will not kill the engine. Just leans it a bit. Anyone seen this symptom? Can you kill the engine

If your feeling especially Randy about a DIY fuel flow you could buy one of the ebay sensors and send the pulses to an Arduino board to do it cheap. Programming required. I started one on my Smith but never finished it. I can dig through my test data and find how many pulses per gallon they put

The feedback so far is great and has me thinking that a geared motor running a fine threaded rod to a captive nut on the tab should eliminate the need for a servo lock. The PWM signal from the gyro is easily converted to a motor drive signal. Next question is what RPM the motor should be. Seems
