Hi Rich.
Built a bracket to mount it 90 deg from Renesis main CAS mount. Sorry I =
don=E2=80=99t have a photo.
Tracy=E2=80=99s code incorporates it in the EC2. I mean there is at =
least a declaration in the code =E2=80=9CBUSENSOR", but I haven=E2=80=99t =
checked the code to see if it was functional, just thought it was.

I suppose I have always wondered about failure modes of the CAS. Of all =
failure modes I think the CAS is very low risk. I thought the weak link =
was the vulnerability of the wire feed itself to a broken belt etc.
So Ive wondered about the point of a backup. Maybe just armour plate the =
signal from the one CAS.

We had a Glasair III go down here in Perth - full electronic ignition on =
Lyc that was taken out by a belt breaking. He lost his engine, managed =
to put it down on a school oval but got terribly burnt.

Steve
