    You might want to check with Airmaster, the newer AC200 controller may very well be compatable with your prop.

    AC100 to AC200 Upgrade.

    Do not get overly panicked about approaching the 5800 rpm limit, it does Not blow up at 5801 rpm.

    A momentary overshoot is "No Harm- No Foul"

    I can confirm we have the old TCU, part 966473. And we don't own a dongle/cable for this type :(

    Could you give any estimate on how much slower the old TCU will spool up compared to a newer TCU ?

    Is it a substantial difference ?

    Are there any tips regarding the old TCU other than upgrading it?

    Yeah, we checked the options for upgrading the prop but didn't make a decision yet.

    The AC200 upgrade requires a different type of slip ring, which is incompatible with our vacuum pump.

    So we are currnetly conisdering our options, but haven't decided  yet.

    Are you aware of the Prop Hub Mounted Rotax Standard SlipRing that works with the Vacuum Pump?
