We've been having long discussions about the computer which runs the diesel RED engine being installed in the Beaver. I've directed that the plane will have to have two independent electrical systems, as the RED engine will not run without electricity. There's going to be a lot of analysis and test to demonstrate equivalent safety to simple magnetos!
