"Anyone have any experience with electroair ignition?"
 
I do.  I replaced a mag with one on the IO-540 in my ES in 2002.  I had problems with it from the start where it would start missing once the engine got hot in the climb and right on into cruise until I had to turn it off and fly on my mag.  Working with Jeff Rose at Electroair, I replaced nearly every component (at my own expense) outside the main board with no luck.  Finally, Jeff admitted he was having quality control issues with the units he was getting from his manufacturer, so I gave up, removed the whole thing and replaced it with a Lightspeed ignition.
 
Based upon my experience, I wouldn't recommend Electroair to anyone.  It was a total waste of time and money and utterly unreliable in my plane.
