Greg,
Nice thing about Tracy's products is he flys what he sells and
he has his own 20B/RV-8 project in the works also........He would
have had his in the air a long time ago had we all not slowed him
down providing all these neat components.........Tracy's normal path
for a product is to prove and fly it first........The EC2 for the 20B
had customers clammering for the product before Tracy could work
out any unforeseen glitches on his RV8 and also many problems can
be attributed both to the installer and the normal problems that can
crop up in any electrical/electronic installation..........IMHO
