Questions:

1. How hard is it to put a DDEC in a 4106?

2. How difficult/expensive to convert a DDEC to a MUI.

3. Advantages/Disadvantages either way?

4. Same questions with the V731.

5. Can you mix the two?

It's the education gained, and the ability to apply, and share, what we learn.

Go find Bill Gerrie over at BNO.

He's done just about every mix and then some.

happy coaching!

Personally, I like everything to be mechanical.  All the advantages of electronics and the additional fuel mileage will quickly go away when (not if) the electronics fail and you have to have the bus towed and analyzed.  Good Luck, TomC
