Tracy,

Anyone had a problem with the Renesis crank = angle sensor=20 and had to change it. I may have to get a new crank angle sensor, = but=20 first I want to check with you guys.

Tracy is probably gone to Colorado, maybe = someone got this=20 problem before.

I cannot get full power on my Renesis for = takeoff on=20 Controller A. Seems like controller B works OK.

It is not the fuel mixture, I tried that. = Actually,=20 when the throttle is wide open the mixture display goes up and down = rapidly,=20 from full lean to full rich and the engine surge.

I had a similar problem when I first installed = and started=20 the Renesis. I had the EC2 controller then and had to get the EC3 = to fix=20 the problem. Now it is coming back to me on the EC3, I = think. The=20 problem then was with the crank sensor, the EC2 could not handle the = sensor=20 signal at more than about 5000 rpm.

I think the problem started progressively during = the last=20 few hours of flight, at first I thought it was a fuel mixture problem = and was=20 trying to ajust for that but now it is not a mixture problem. = Since the=20 controller B has NO temp. sensor and works ok, I wonder if it has = anything to do=20 with that problem on controller A.
