As for the telemetry, unfortunately there is no 'plug and play' option out there. The built-in telemetry feedback is unique to RCExl style ignitions like what's on the smaller gas engines by Evolution (Saito, Zenoah, and others as well). You would need to use a universal sensor and find a way to measure the RPM from the crank

Hope this helps.

You're right, I found where the sensor goes.
Yes, the tach thing will be a problem.
Maybe a coil wrapped around the plug wire would generate enough volta to trigger the tach in the TM1000 rpm module, couldn' hurt to try?

Next, is the prop thing.
I didn't realize the pitch is different on a large prop.
Seems like a 12" pitch would still give about the same speed as a smaller 12" pitch prop,
just a lighter load on the engine.
I think I'll break it in with the prop I have, just watch the rpm to keep it low enough.
