Marc,  all I have handy is my instruction book that is now all online and probably changed.  On page 60 and 17.15 the heading is Rotor compensation which requirers an O2 sensor. Then on page 63 and 18.6 there is Rotary timing split that controls the timing between leading and trailing spark.
I believe that fueltech is brazilian and was developed for rotaries, but then went into racing.  The email on the back of my manual is  info@fueltech.net where you can also ask questions last I knew.  Sorry to be so vague as this is a quick answer.
Neil.

Neil, 
Does Fueltech still today support the 2 or 3 rotor engines? Could you post those directions you have?

Backup to me is service if it fails or help and assistance in set up.  No there is no dual controls and these days reliability is outstanding.  How many cars these days have a computer failure?  None that I know of.. 50 years ago failure did occur.

Have been flying with the fueltech for possibly 8 years after my EMC caused problems.  tracy was able to fix, no problems, but due to time in freight to the US and OZ I was down for 6 weeks. Did fiddle with another local Oz version but was complicated. The local rotary gurus put me onto the fueltech which is also complicated as is designed for race cars / hotrods etc..  It does have a section especially for rotarys, possibly 3 pages but controls everything well. IN Oz at the time it was dear at $2800 AUD but had and still has backup. Controls spark, fuel, timing, turbo on a rotary. Then there is about 70 pages of stuff you will not need in aircraft, like gear change, burnouts, boost and whatever else they use in drag racing.  For me the big issue is backup which these days in OZ is impossible to get in anything.

Hi Neil,
Can you clarify 'backup'? Does that mean that it's a full dual controller like the RWS (that would be huge), or are you talking about service on it when you have issues?

Thanks,

Charlie
