The ultimate birthday present for a pilot

Your own RB211

I wonder how much control gear there is in an RB211. For example, do you just spin it up like a PT6 with the igniters on and open up the fuel when the N1 is above X% and the three shafts all take care of themselves via simple aerodynamic coupling, or is there a "FADEC" system for the whole lot?
