Bill,
Good to see that not everyone has had to deal
with the gremlins. It indicates light at the end of the tunnel. Another setback
for me this weekend, but hopefully will figure it out sooner or later and
finally get back to flight test.
BTW, if you have RD-1 #1, I guess that means
I have RD-1 #0? Mine was the prototype Tracy flew after removing the Ross. I
think he said it had around 160 hours on it when he swapped it for a production
RD-1A, but dont remember the details. Man that was a long time ago.

I have been watching all this EC2 problem
solving going on for some time now. Maybe I was just
lucky, but I certainly don't remember having near the problems that seem to be
plaguing builders now. Or is it just that those who don't have problems
don't post?
For me, it wasn't quite plug and play, but it was
darn close. Following the manual exactly is almost mandatory. I
had to read and re-read sections until it became clear in my mind what was
going to happen. Generally, if you call Tracy, he will point out some
sentence in the manual that you have glossed over.
Sorry if this looks
like a rant, but just wanted to point out that not everyone has problems with
the EC2.

As has been pointed out, the EC2 is not a plug and play device and
does take some degree of ghostbusters poltergeist work to chase
the gremlins down.
