Tracy,
 
My email "send" has been down, but I = think I may=20 finally have it back. This is my first test of the "fix"
 
Just a heads up, as we discussed = several weeks ago=20 on the phone, I am sending my EM2 and EC2 back for repair/update. I am = most=20 concerned about the PCM as I broke a "trace" on it and my program knob = has been=20 "belly-up".
 
I think it arrived yesterday to FL, but = I think due=20 to the insurance I placed on it, it requires a signature.
 
I got the latest build running before I = sent the=20 stuff back but I figure there is not a lot of point trying to tune if I = can't=20 "tune" <g>
 
On that note, the new build is cooling = much better=20 with the big 'ol radiator/heat exchanger with a big 'ol fan and more = direct=20 ducting.  The new radiator is just a hair larger than John = Slade's and=20 slightly smaller than Dave Leonards. Luckily the Velocity SE's = size gives=20 me a bit or wiggle room. FWIW.
 
All the best,

Actually that order (for piston engines) =20 is:
 Mode 3, 2, 1 then auto tune.

Rotary engines go = :
Mode=20 3,6,2,1 then auto tune.

What was the date of last update or=20 service?  Might be able to tell about the snubber update from=20 that.
