Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Turbo boost limits in the EC2

Mode 6 went away Rusty.  The EC2 now has a turbo boost retard built in that linearly retards timing between 32 to 60" Hg.  Nominal timing is 13 deg BTDC by the time it reaches 60" MAP.   This is to avoid detonation.  
 
That sounds perfect, and just what's needed.  Hmmm, even I might need this some day :-)  Just out of curiosity, when did this change occur?  I think I have one of the later, if not the latest versions of software, so I'm guessing I have this new feature.  Of course I was just looking up Mode 6 in my manual, that came with the EC-2 firmware :-)
 
The next question is- does Todd have this feature in his software?  I would think anyone running a turbo should make sure they get this ASAP. 
 
Rusty (wondering what else the software does that I don't know about)
 
Lots of things Rusty, and unfortunately, the documentation is the last thing to get updated.  BTW, how many EM2 owners out there have not figured out how to change the display brightness because I forgot to put it in the instructions?  ACK, (button 4) does this in all modes except calibration and timer screen.
 
One of the down sides to making this fun thing I do into a business is that I feel guilty every time I make an improvement to anything I sold before.   I want every single one to be the best I can do.  In the case of the EC2 & EM2, they can be updated by changing the socketed program chips.
 
Thanks to all for the feedback on 'abnormal aviators'.
