I won't include the feature list so refer to the previous message on the
Matronics.

Pretty impressive list but good grief, $1500.00?  I assume that the "Return
fuel kit" ($500) is needed with EFI systems to compensate for the return
fuel in EFI setups.   I hope to incorporate most of these features in the
EC2 system now in development for a total cost of $900.00.  Remember that
this is a whole EFI and ignition controller with sensors (dual, there are
two of everything in the box), not just a fuel system monitor.   Maybe I'm
not charging enough?    One of the reasons for coming out with the new
version was to accommodate the Lycoming & Subaru crowd who have been after
me to build a version for them.  The EC2 will adapt to almost any engine
rather than just the rotary.

I hope to fly the prototype EC2 in about 4 weeks and have production
versions in about 8 weeks.  The EC1 that I'm flying now has only the fuel
flow (GPH) function but it does not require a "$500 return fuel kit".
