Good evening all,
 I think I found out why my engine ran under powered on the last flight. The
 fuse supplying the leading coils was blown. It was a 15 amp fuse, which I

 supplying two of the coils, not one.

We're using one 7.5A fuse per LS1 coil.  Perhaps it would be a better idea to separately fuse each coil, this way if you blow a single fuse you'll only lose one leading plug instead of both.  Just a thought.
