Paul  - wanted to mention that Sigurd is flying Real World Solutions
ignition controller on his plane (not the EC2 - just the plain

ignition).

Thanks!   Laura Crook

Sigurd and I communicate frequently about his installation.  He originally
had AN-12 hose for his coolant system and was having coolant overtemp
problems.  I suggested that AN-12 might be on the small size, so he replaced
them with 1 1/4 radiator hose and got his coolant temp under control.
Recently had some problems with his engine developing full power and thought
he had a problem with his Holley throttle body fuel injection system, but
apparently it turns out that his trailing ignition module had failed.  He
priced a new one from a Mazda dealer at $600!  You can generally pick them
up from the junk yard for $50 or less and I had several extra ones, so sent
him a set.

 Sigurd has had problems with the his Ross PSRU ranging from too much radial
play (side ways/up/down) at the prop end of the shaft, leaking from front
seal (may be related to bearing problem?).  Shipped the unit back to Chris
Ross and then had to have a friend in Arz drive up to Tucson to get Chris to
ship the unit back to Sigurd.  So Sigurd has had his share of teething
problems, but apparently the 13B makes a good engine for the Glas Star.
