Default RE: AMT ECU software up grade

No word from the AMA yet re a definitive answer as to a second fuel cut-off (para 8 in 510-A). Shameful that they can't interpret their own prose...and they think WE can understand it?! But, as I said earlier, no worries...the ECU pump shut-down is sufficient for the remote requirement in '05. I talked w/ CM and Illona...told 'em to just ask me !

For old ECUs, Futaba has come back w/ a P-mix procedure we are trying....this so that a three-position switch can be used to get the necessary 30% set point. Have to have that in order to utilize the added ECU delay in FS; easy if you use a slider or knob instead for engine control.

With a new AMT ECU, just set the FS channel to throttle, make the throttle trim center position the set point (around 30% should do it).

FS set w/ Old or new ECU: With engine in run position, turn the Tx off and you'll immediately hear the slow beeps/see the EDT switch poition go to center. There's no apparent delay added to your radio 'hold' in doing this......until ya have the engine actually running.....then the added ECU delay takes effect.
