If I had the money at this time, I would put 2 P-Mags on my plane. The = total cost would be $2,800. The price for 1 P-Mag is $1,100 or $1,300 = depending on weather you change the impulse coupled side or the direct = mag. Don't forget that you also get to use automobile spark plugs.

But = how much improvement does a single electronic ignition give compared to = a dual system? The only answer I've been given is "about half." That = makes sense, I suppose, but is there any data out there to support that? = Most of my long flights are at about 12,000 feet, so I expect some = improvement over dual mags. > . > . > . -- Lorn H.
