Great to hear the progress, Mike.
Just a view point, but I always leave my B
controller in the default setting. Rationale is it will run (perhaps not
optimum) but will run, in default mode – I have never had any surprises
from the default B controller settings. That always leaves it available –
should I screw up A mode so badly the engine does not want to run on it.
The worst I have noticed about the default
B controller settings, for my installation, is that it’s a bit too rich
at idle and just a tad lean at full throttle, but in between its always run
fine.
Just a point of view, nothing wrong with
copying a good A to B. Hope to hear about your first flight soon.
Best Regards
Ed

I now have the airplane running pretty good throughout the
RPM range on controller A. Using Mode 9 I copied the program to the B
controller. I assumed that the engine would run the same (more or less) on B
after the copy, but no... Seems to be rich throughout the range - to the point
of mis-firing, surging, running rough, etc.... I think I can tweak everything
to settle it down, but is this normal? I assumed there may be differences in
the MAP sensor which would result in a small difference but really did not
expect such a drammatic difference. At most throttle settings I have to turn
the mixture full lean to smooth it out.
Does the Mode 9 copy just copy the MAP table or does it also
copy things like the staging point, the global injector setting, etc...
If I can get this B controller dialed in I'll be out of
excuses - time to fly.
