Yeah! New EC2 Field Upgradable, Yea! Had
I ever envisioned the number of times I have contorted my aging body- bending
backwards over the wing spar, body wedged between console and wall, all focal
lengths for things I could see being wrong, etc, etc, I would certainly have
mounted the EC2 right on the front of the instrument panel {:>). Well,
at least a lot more accessible position than where it is.
I would have - if I had known that Tracy was never
going to be satisfied with the product and continually improve it forcing the
annual torture session {:>). So taken it from someone who has been
under the panel over the past 10 years much more than desired, mount the EC2 in
a easily accessible location. Better to move it once than fight with it every
time.

Easy for me (or anyone else) to say but why not find another location for
the EC2? Even if you find a low profile connector, how will
you tighten the retaining screws on the connector?
There are no doubt many constraints in your installation that
I don't know about but I always advise builders to install them in an easily
accessed location. Every time I come up with the latest wiz bang improvement to the EC2,
I can hear the mental groans of builders who have to dig them out
of
obscure corners of their aircraft for the update :>)
This has caused so much angst that the next version of the EC2 (now in
design) is going to have some kind of provision for updating the software in
the field.
Haven't decided on the details of this yet.

Bob White, or anyone with advise,
I would like to find an
adaptor of some kind to get a lower profile on my EC2. I had the 90 degree
end installed, but it still takes up over 2" of space. In my case it will
hit the fuel tank. I can modify the tank if necessary. But if it was as
simple as plugging a low profile adaptor, that would be the thing to
do.
