Hi Bill, The upgrade is primarily aimed at the new closed loop and self programming modes. While writing the new code I noticed that there was a potential for a single ignition or injection cycle to be missed under an unlikely but still possible series of events involving more factors than I have room to describe. I do not know if this is the cause of what you have experienced or not but I went ahead and eliminated this specific possibility in the latest code. In the 1500+ hours I've been flying the EC2/3 I've felt what might be this missed cycle maybe 5 times. It does feel like a miss ( not a backfire) and I would not say it shakes the whole airframe as you or someone else described. Perception is a highly individual thing though :-). The new update is available for the EC3 now but the EC2 version is still in work and scheduled to be ready in a few weeks.
