I've been reading this thread for a few days know. Can't think about what to say other that it's awesome that a development for the FE could be picked up by a broader market. Shows that almost anything is possible with the right mindset and motivation. My old 390 pegs the oil pressure gauge and I am always thinking that it's such a waist.

Great development for the FE world for sure. Congratulations!

Thanks Bob and John!  It's been a very fun ride  :)  There's a lot of satisfaction seeing some crazy thing you dreamed up actually working in front of you.

Now the hard part!  How to get the right partner interested.  Working on that...

WConley,  I'm really happy that you were able to get this pushed from an academic exercise to a working prototype.  It's been fun to follow your progress.  I applaud your efforts and hope you find a buyer.

Thanks Mike!  I have a couple of other (non- FE) irons in the fire too.  They're also quite ambitious and working out well.  Sooner or later the right person will notice  :)
