Finn,
It would appear that the way I wrote that seemed to suggest more than I intended. It wasn't my intention to imply that Tracy's unit wasn't being successfully used - only to compare its numbers against the smaller number of flying MicroTech units.
Indeed, when I get to the point being ready to start the engine, I intend to buy a unit from Tracy. But I also expect to have to do *a lot* of tuning, before it's ready to transfer to the airplane.
Paul was expressing concern that tuning the MicroTech was out of his reach. The Mazda ECU already comes with good maps; and it "learns" as it goes, IIRC. Am I correct in understanding that the default maps on Tracy's EC2 are regularly being updated? Can they be transferred to older controllers? Via firmware updates?
As far as spontaneous mid-air shut-down goes, has that ever actually happened to anyone flying the factory ECU? What sort of things won't it "like", that could cause a shut-down? Perry, are you out there?
Regards,
Dale R.

Dale you have got to be kidding?!
I think a brief survey will show that the vast majority is flying Tracy's EC.
Doesn't the car EC shut down the engine if it doesn't like what it senses?
Not a good thing in the air!
