Tracy,
 
Thanks for the suggestion to = reprogram the B=20 controller.  I have started over - restored factory settings and=20 reprogrammed A and B.  The controller is fine now and I know alot = more=20 about what data is copied when copying A to B.  I had interpreted = the=20 instructions to mean all programmed paramaters were copied.  = Apparent=20 only the MAT values are copied on my unit.  I reprogrammed = controller B -=20  Mode 3, 6 and 2 and it is identical to A in performance=20 now.
 
Please let me know = when you are=20 ready to implement the back-up crank angle sensor system.  I am = ready and=20 can install it as soon as I get the updated controller=20 chips.   = I=20 have already installed shielded wiring and a second CAS=20 on another bracket I built .
 
I noticed the following information in your latest = EC-3=20 install manual:  "If you have=20 installed a backup sensor and have ordered the EC2 with the backup = sensor=20 option, the backup sensor must be mounted 90 degrees in advance of the = primary=20 sensor."
 
The mounting bracket I sent you mounted the sensor = at=20 approximatly 115 degrees not 90 degrees.  Is there another mount=20 avaliable that mounts the sensor at 90 degrees? =20
 
I have always had an occussional = slight missfire=20 (hic-up) while flying. I recieved a copy of the EC-3 installation = guide and=20 notice you recommend seperating the trigger wires from the power and = ground=20 wires when using the Delco igniters.

Thank you for all you do and have done for the Rotary = Community!!
I would not have used a rotary if yur grat equipment was not=20 avaliable!!
