Firing Order on Pre A500 series motors?
I've seen some people saying that the firing order on 3 rotors can be either 1-2-3 or 1-3-2 I'm assuming that they may have changed this through Series. I'm a A4xx.

Thanks,
Brendan

Um, verify it yourself?

Remove all three trailing spark plugs...
Rotate motor by hand.
Feel which holes whistle in sequence.

My A699 motor fires 1 - 2 - 3.

My pre A motor is 1-2-3. An aquaintance's B series motor was also 1-2-3. I asked Atkins, Pineapple, Lance Warren (it was a few years ago) and they all said it's 1-2-3.
