G'day Gerard...
Some of the benefits of my Lightspeed Engineering Plasma III electronic
ignition which replaced a Bendix mag:
Quicker starting...
Smoother idle...
Higher static RPM by 50...
Better takeoff & climb performance - especially out of higher density
altitude airports (SEZ & FLG for example)...
Leaner mixture in climb and cruise...
No fixed timing - is automatically variable between 20 to 40
degrees...
No points to wear out and no negative implications of high altitude flight
(at least up to17,500')... I suspect this type ignition system that even
the guys who fly up into the mid-to high 20's that their problems might be over
as well...
With the extreme rain we've had here in Southern California lately, I've
had occation to fly in moderate to heavy rain with no problems...
I would be reluctant to replace both mags with electronic units. It's
reassuring to know the mag is there if one has a complete electrical
failure...
