I think I failed a total of 5 Renesis coils
on the Renesis engine and the 20B. They were circa 2005
coils. Don’t know if they ever improved so I don’t recommend
them. The LS-x coils D 585 coils seem pretty good but don’t
go for the cheaper aftermarket ones. I failed a couple of
those too. Mounting the coils in a cooler location helps. I
put mine in a box and ran cool air through it. Make sure
ambient air around coils does not exceed 130 F for best
reliability.
If the current limiting resistor in the
Lead Coil of 2nd gen 13Bs is replaced with a higher
wattage resistor, the 2nd gen coils are probably
the most reliable of any I’ve used.
If I can get my development system going
again I can reprogram EC2/3s for any of the available coil
options. It quit working with Windows 10 (dammit!)

Had
an ignition coil fail in flight. Hardly noticed it - just
could feel a little roughness of the engine. The coil was an
original RX-8 coil with 735 flight hours. Replaced it with
one from Auto Zone - $29. I have shopped Amazon and the OEM
Mazda coil reviews indicate Mazda coils fail often and
early! I have found several "racing" or "improved" quality
coil deals on the web and wonder if anyone has tried any of
the "Better" coils? I believe Tracy recommended the AC
Delco coils but my EC- 2 was built to drive the Mazda RX-8
coil system. Anyone have an EC-2 set up for AC Delco coils
they want to sell?
PS:
I have a 3/8 clear vinyl tube attached to the OEM oil
filler vent pipe and never see any oil blown out. I
normally do not exceed 6200 rpm during normal flight.

I just
put a breather on the oil fill tube. Big enough volume
tube and I doubt oil will travel that far up to the
breather.

It's crossed my mind, but while I
have a little more time to work on the plane these
days, I don't have that much time! You'd be forgiven
for thinking that I'm in the same time zone as our
brothers down under, as I'm usually burning the
midnight oil when I'm making postings to the list at
the end of my day.
One of these years I'll make
a tour down there and try to time it with your
fly-in.

Oooo, me like! I've
*wondered* about doing that, but never

great for cars, so....
How about setting a rotary record &
flying down to MS for the roundup next
month? I know you have the tankage for it.

I
am finally finishing my
renesis rebuild, with so much
help from this list-- thanks
My
question is with regard to the
ventilation of the case. it
seems that the rotary has a
nipple off of the filler tube
for this purpose... (I don't
think that I have that tube
currently and will probably
make one)
Using
this port, is it a good idea
to just plumb it out of the
back of the airplane as with a
crank case vent?
Is
the amount of oil/vapor
created significant enough to
collect it and recycle it?
