BEAUTIFUL!
It looks like an oil schematic for an old Hydramatic,with pics of linkage and everything.
Take a look at a schematic for today's 6sp autos. They're like those old 3D pics that when you stare at them long enough something pops out.

Do modern day turbines get rid of some of the linkages and valves with electronic solenoids and actuators?

Thats exactly what i thought when i saw it for the first time. However it really is a reliable unit if you look you will see it has a
emergency fuel selector in the event it fails.
it has some inputs incoming air temp, barometric pressure for altitude, rpm input. Compressor pressure.
ouputs are inlet vane guides bleed band and plotting fuel schedules for acceleration and deceleration.
as stated earlier the modulation of the fuel output is really only pressure.
this unit could be replaced by any motec unit or equivalent.

If you would like to try to blowup these Arnesons or bpms
Try turning this screw its item 10 on the schematic it turns the fuel pressure and flow way up be careful because it does not adjust
any other wonderful little things that fuel control is doing.
here is what the destroyer knob looks like. Again you have been warned it shows no Mercy!
did you hire a chimp to do the safety wiring??? Very tempting I bet to mess with those settings just a little.

Yes these will be tweaked after the upgrades. The thermal limit is what we are concerned with. I would be lying if i said i did not.
