Chime in here whenever you wish, Ed.

What I'm referring to is at the last RWS fly-in Ed went to start his engine
in the morning and pressed the Store (primer) button and didn't see that the
EC-2 was in mode 9.  He had the fuel pump(s) on and when he hit the Store
button it went into injector simulation mode which caused the engine to
flood and fuel to pour out the exhaust.  When something like that happens,
one spark and you've got a very bad situation.  Always have a fire
extinguisher (or two) nearby.
