FW: Electronic timing advance

[Don.F.Broadus at ucm.com]

I haven't tried this setup yet but see what you think of it. Since the KS is
a pizo device if a frequency is applied to it then vibrations
will be produced. If a plate was drilled and tapped for two KS and a signal
generator applied to one sensor and the ESC module connected to the other
one, I would guess you could very accurately map the range of a ESC.
