As I begin my build, I am seeking ideas for possible instrumentation to include not only for the engine, but other sensors that would prove useful to those of us who actually like looking at numbers...Kolibri comes to mind.
Being a physicist and research engineer, I am looking at this build process as an "experiment". I plan to collect all 'relevant' (flight attitude, stress on specific pieces, stick oscillations, etc.) data during Phase I and collate for possible further use. I assume that relevant means many things, but looking for 'stuff' that IS important (to some).
When the rolling frame is assembled I will begin a build thread.
Phase I used to be invisible; now I can barely see it WAYYYY out there on the prairie. Hope it doesn't move.
Stupid idea?
If not, then please post your suggestions.
Thanks,
Chris
