Well.....moveable (retractable) aero devices are permitted at Bonneville.
Why not do that? I am installing them now. Also my ride will have driver
controllable (manual) power control next time out...for each engine. That
should pretty much take the need for "traction control" out of the picture.
Other than the traction control exercised by the driver's trained (and
hopefully knowledgeable) foot. But what I really want to do is breathe the
atmosphere that I want to in the cockpit.......but alas.......phosgene
(sp?) gas in the event of fire is what I must look forward to. So the best
I can do is locate all the engines and burnable stuff aft of the cockpit.
Development continues.........
