Re: Europa-List: 914 Airbox Temperature monitoring

The 914 has a temp sensor on the airbox, that sends a signal of the internal 
temp
of the airbox to the TCU. If the airbox temp reaches 165 degrees F  I thank
that is the target temp!! The TCU will
retard the timing which will then prevent detonation.
