    How may people have wired an EC2?
    How many people need to wire an EC2?
    How many people have wired it more than once?

   I still have to wire mine.  Not looking forward to it, I was
   planning on buying a wiring harness from Bob but I never got around
   to it.

I will recommend this company again...  Igus is a German company with
offices in RI.   They will sell machine and data cable with no cut charge
and no minimum.  I used their CF240-xx-xx shielded cable to wire
Tracys EM2 and EC3 for my Subie pusher. I would recommend 22ga or
heavier for ease of use, you can get from 3 to 24 conductors, all color
coded.
I also used their mil spec 4 gauge for battery cables.  I didn't price
single
conductor 16ga wire, instead ordering from SkyGeek (100 ft minimum).

The best part is that this is mil spec teflon cover which conforms to FAA
recommendations (no toxic smoke if there is a fire).  And the price wasn't
bad either, my 14 conductor was less than $2 per foot in 2009.

Yes I am also working on a single rotor for future planes *:*D

Mike C I will build if you wish (but it won;t be inexpensive!!)

Their web site is unfathomable.

I have no idea what they are talking about.
