[FlyRotary] Re: EC3 Controller
Rino,
I just noticed that there is
a service alert for EC-3s shipped prior to 6-1-08. When did you get
yours?
Surging could be caused by
the EC-3 hunting for a map table address. Are you quite certain that
this is not related to the map table?

Controller
Anyone had a problem with the
Renesis crank angle sensor and had to change it. I may have to get a
new crank angle sensor, but first I want to check with you
guys.
Tracy is
probably gone to Colorado, maybe someone got this problem
before.
I cannot get full power on my
Renesis for takeoff on Controller A. Seems like controller B
works OK.
It is not the fuel mixture, I
tried that. Actually, when the throttle is wide open the mixture
display goes up and down rapidly, from full lean to full rich and the
engine surge.
I had a similar problem when I
first installed and started the Renesis. I had the EC2 controller
then and had to get the EC3 to fix the problem. Now it is coming
back to me on the EC3, I think. The problem then was with the crank
sensor, the EC2 could not handle the sensor signal at more than about 5000
rpm.
I think the problem started
progressively during the last few hours of flight, at first I thought it
was a fuel mixture problem and was trying to ajust for that but now it is
not a mixture problem. Since the controller B has NO temp. sensor
and works ok, I wonder if it has anything to do with that problem on
controller A.
