Mark,
That’s one
problem that I haven’t had. I do
recall a discussion though because several people flying the “plastic” planes
had problems with the data getting corrupted. I think that I lucked out because I ran all of my wiring
down the passenger side wiring channel.
By the time it came to do the controller, the channel was full, so it
runs down the pilot’s side pretty much by itself. The only other thing in the channel other than the EC2
wiring are the headset intercom wires, which are shielded.

Tracy,
To refresh your memory, I recently installed the solid state staging relay on
my 20B Lancair ES. When doing the install, I didn't reinstall the diode
(to ground). During a short test flight after installing the solid state
relay, the map table got corrupted. I wrote for your advice and you
instructed me to connect the diode. I reinstalled the diode to the
staging relay and went for a short 30 minute flight today. The
"A" map table again got corrupted. Switching to the
"B" controller resulted in a smooth running engine. After
landing, I entered the EM-2 tracking mode and it was obvious that the
"A" map table was again corrupted. I have not reloaded
the default map, in case you would like to take a picture of the EM-2 display
of the map table.
These are the only two instances of this happening that I can recall, both
cases happened after I installed the solid state injector staging relay.
Could the relay possibly be related?
Also, I understand that others with composite a/c have had problems similar to
this (sporatic corruption of the MAP table). Have you been able to
determine a common cause? Any suggestions?
I am posting this to the fly rotary group in hopes that someone on the list may
have already "been there, done that".
Thanks,
Mark S.
