Can you comment on the performance and economy change from before the
LASAR ignition to after?
How do you quantify the difference is it performance or economy or both?
Before the Lasar ignition system, my airplane didn't use any gas at all!
Now it uses about 7 1/2 gph at 75%.
All seriousness aside, we had the Lasar system in from the beginning. Never
flew the plane without it. It's supposed to increase both performance and
economy and I believe it does. It always starts on the first blade and above
10,000 we get 180 + kts with a burn of a little less than 7 gph. Shutting
off one mag during runup causes the system to shut off for 20 seconds. This
is so you can check the basic mag functions. I notice that the engine runs
less smooth when the Lasar system is off.
I know that this is all antidotal information, completely lacking any hard
numbers data. Sorry. Is there someone who has retro-fitted the Lasar system
and has some "before" data to compare with?
