Hi Steve, yes I was wondering about that after reviewing my schematic; I'll check the wiring to see if it is actually wired as I posted ... if yes it would not be too difficult to rewire as L/L and T/T ... thanks for the extra set of eyes.

Jeff,

It may be worth considering connecting the coils such that opening a fuse only affects one coil of each rotor. Loosing either the trailing or leading coils has a noticeable but minimal effect on the engine as demonstrated by executing the coil test available when running on the B controller. That is certainly not as serious as completely loosing one of the rotors. The wiring scheme you show makes this very easy to check out for yourself.
