I replaced the small red Renesis injectors with the larger blue injectors.  After adjusting the Mode 6 injector size and Mode 3 I got the engine to run but not well.  I than reset the MP to factory settings and reset Mode 6 and 3.  I did this on both A and B.   The engine runs great and with a little Mode 9 Auto Tune I should be ready to fly again.  Very easy tuning if you go Mode 6-3-2-1 in that order.

Bill Schertz -Thanks for sharing the information on the tack RPM doubling because of noise on the line when the primaries are turned off - I've had the same problem - some day I'll rerout my primary injector leads to see if that cures the problem.

We had a BIG hail strom two weeks after the Rotary fly-in.  My hanger roof got dented enough that my insurance will replace it!  Than the weather turned HOT.  We see 107 -109 every afternoon.  Next week it is supposed to be more normal - mid to high 90's.

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.
