the problem with any sort of auto oiler is that
on a EFI engine with excess fuel pressure being

fuel back thru the auto-oiler. this would mean that
as your flight progessed the oil in the fuel would increase.
what about using some extra fuel injectors piped up
to a pressurised oil manifold and controlled by
a separate micro-controller, or integrated into Tracey's EC1

Only if you injected the oil into the fuel. If you injected the oil
into the existing oil injection ports on the rotor housing all would
be OK. There is nothing wrong with the stock pump except perhaps
its price. The problem is; it is difficult to feed from a separate
supply other than the system oil. Tracy mentioned he may have an idea
along those lines.
Mixing the 2 cycle oil with the fuel currently is the preferred method.
