did some glide tests, and it seems like the engine is not even running at idle.
That
one got me yesterday, Rusty. More of an attention getter for me cause I hit it
on base.
I think
it's the "high rpm" map table that needs programming. This is the table that
gets used when map is low but rpm is high, such as at idle in decent. The EC2
manual talks about the need to program this map either with the prop off,
or at altitude.

Hi
John,
Glad to hear you're back
flying. One of my goals for todays flight was specifically to try to tune
the dual MAP, but when it appeared to be farther off the scale than I
imagined, I decided to regroup, and think about this some more. It
probably is just off the scale, and I really wish I had noted the MAP at the
time. I'd really like to get this running smoothly, since it's quite
unnerving on approach to have the engine only half running. Let's
just say I don't ever leave my approach short
:-)
If I had an auto tune chip like you
do for the EM-2, that's how I'd tune it. BTW, I think we decided early on
that tuning the dual MAP without the prop was something that should be removed
from the instructions :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (1014 gallons used in the
last 8 hours according to the EM-2, and 66 gallons in my 15 gallon tank
until I cycled the
power)
