@Hondaridr58 Diesel engines work differently. The throttle directly controls the amount of fuel that goes into the cylinders, and it has no control whatsoever on restricting the amount of air going in. As a result, diesels are always running with a very lean mixture. The only time they run at stoichiometric ratio is at full throttle. Thus, there is no mixture control. The FADEC is there only to fine-tune injection timing and to limit the throttle at higher altitudes to prevent too rich mixture.

@Hondaridr58 yeah its pretty sweet and very precise from what I remember. You even get an auto-run up button that tests the props, rpms, and both FADEC channels. Thielert is the manufacturer of the engine.

@serobusi Just throttle up and go, huh? Sounds like a dream!

Was there no mixture control, or am I just not seeing it?
