Here are the ideas, as of now :
Before flight:- cylinder running? --> with cylinder temperature and glow plug resistor value [1]
- mixture rich? --> RMP + temperature
- readings? --> either smartphone, LCD screen, working fake instruments panels
After flight:- SD card --> use my laptop to plot the flight pattern (barometer height + airspeed) and check cylinder temperatures & RPM to improve or to make reliable the engine settings, trough the whole flight envelope.
That sounds both crazy and realistic to me. For sure, I am having fun with this project.
[1] For instance, with the radial 3, I have trouble to know wether 2 or 3 cylinders are running. When the engine cowl is screwed, I don't have access to cylinder tuemperature. My ears have hard time to recognize the sounds. The RPM is an indicator, but I don't have one. I stalled just after take off, at 2 meters high, because I mistakingly thought I had the power of al 3 cylinders.
