The filter I added to the EM2 seems to have fixed the noise
problem.
My wife just asked me how my computer was working. She meant
the
EM2. I didn't even get the connection and thought she was
talking
about my PC. I have noticed that sometimes when I page up or
down,
the manifold pressure goes to 1499 and triggers the alarm. Also
the
various timers don't seem to work right. Hobbs time runs all the
time
regardless of air speed and I can't reset it either. I still
haven't
installed the last update prom though so will do that before
deciding
it isn't working.
Keep plugging away.
Bob W.
(Another plodder wishing I had a small fraction of Rusty's energy
and
dedication.)

finishes and flies it, then put it up for sale, all before mine is
done. A pox on you Rusty! BTW, I still can't figure
out how people part with something that takes so much blood, sweat
& tears to build. Maybe I'm overly prone to developing emotional
attachments to machines.

updating before I can re-install the panel. Fly-by-wire finally
finished.

neat though and I think I will like the very light feel of the throttle
control made possible by the FBW approach. I did retain the variable
friction adjustment on the quadrant just in case it feels wrong to have so
little resistance.

several coolant fittings and plugs that leaked. As much as I like
J B Weld and epoxy putty, NEVER use it to plug unused coolant ports like
the heater port and the rotor housing coolant ports on turbo housings.
They will always develop hair-line leaks around the perimeter after a few
thermal cycles.
