You guy's gonna love the EHSI....

Hi Flo, The engine is only rated to do so much work - when you make it spend a part of that to run packs or anti-ice it will have to deliver less power for forward thrust. That´s why you need to reduce RPM to keep the total power of the engine constant. In other words - you need to burn so much fuel to make the engine spin at a certain speed (N1). If you extract compressed air, the engine would turn a little slower even while adding the same fuel per minute. Imagine a car that is limited to 100 horsepower. You run at that horsepower and the speed is 150mph. Now you turn on the headlights, radio, window heat and a bunch of other things that use electricity and put a drain on your generator. The car will slow down.... Did I make sense? Hi Meshboy - we will keep your offer in mind and understand your desire. I have been running through two of several tutorial flights we are planning for the documentation (KSAN - KLAX, KTUS KTUS - KLAS). It´s a lot of fun to think of how to show people all the features, take pictures, write the text... and it is amazing to think that the plane is far enough to really fly it to do the tutorials already and not miss any features!
