REFLECTOR: Saga vids on utube and MORE checking the basics

[Alex Balic]

Hey Chris- 
Great videos!  looks and sounds good- you should be airborne in no time.  I
have just changed from my complicated single processor ECU over to Tracy
Crooks simple dual processor EC-3- need to finish the wiring this
weekend,adn hopefully, I will be taxiing myself soon.   Oh- not that most of
us don't already understand the rotary engine method- but after I watched
your videos- found this pretty cool old time video explaining things- you
have probably already watched it, but for ayone else- it is worth a look-

     Right after both of these runs we discovered the reason for some of the
roughness
     present in these runs.  The nut holding the crank angle sensor was not
tightened properly.  GOTTA check 
     the basics.  DOH!

     That is me at the controls and my buddy, Russell, on cam. (he
discovered the infinity focus feature
      just AFTER these videos were taken <g>.  He is actually the smartest
guy I know.

     I am coming to the conclusion that many/most of my current concerns are
     electrically based.  So, I will be running and checking wires AGAIN.  I
     am really annoyed by the RPM indicator going to zero when I go over
     about 5400ish rpm (usually). I still have some power to go but do not
know what I
     actually achieve.  Actually, today, in the second video, it got to 5000
but then went to zero.  
     When I backed off the throttle, it went to a couple erratic numbers
then went back to normal

     Still lots more to discover and tweak.  However, did you notice my
plane
     is actually moving under its own power <G>. Wow, who'd of thunk it.

     Oh, btw, on an unrelated note, I was promoted to corporal yesterday at
work.
     (we only have corporal's and sergeants on the streets).  FWIW.
     
     All the best,

     Chris
