Tracy,
 Sorry to beat this to death but I am a little dense......If  injectors fire on the intake cycle
of their respective rotor and are not batch fired and the intake cycles of the rotors are
phased 180 degrees of the eccentric shaft apart how do you avoid pulseing the injectors
every 180 degrees (twice per eccentric shaft rotation) ??

I dont think the prop "tach" sensing device would care. My understanding of how this thing would work, intuitively...:

The user sets the prop speed "baseline" based on whatever value he wants (engine RPM, separate optical tach, seat of pants sensation, etc). The Constant speed unit would detect whatever it detects at whatever rate it detects it at, and varies the prop pitch based on its program to maintain its detected baseline.

It matters not if it gets 1, 2, 3 or 10 "pulses" per RPM, all it knows its going to try to maintain whatever amount of pulses its told to maintain. In doing so, the prop maintains its set RPM.
