Group...

  anyone using the G3 Ignition system?   http://www.g3ignition.com/



Vans recommends a shower of sparks type ignition enhancement so this looks interesting to me.  



Thanks,

Doug

The Bendix "Shower of Sparks" was strongly promoted by the IA speaker on

Magnetos at the Washington State Aviation event yesterday.  He was a

firm advocate due to their reliability and benefits.  He surprised us

when he remained skeptical on the advantage of electronic systems.  It

was an interesting point to ponder on a Saturday.  So Shower of Sparks

is worth consideration.



Most of us wanted information on Slicks with Impulse Couplers and other

such things.  I have seen several 500 hour Slick inspections which are

blown off by the Experimental Builder/Repairman.  Most hobbyists and A&P

cannot remagnetize the needed components (without the right equipment)

to comply and I found that interesting.



One Take away point was the need to Ohm out each Champion resistor

sparkplug before re-insertion.  Turns out old dogs can learn new tricks.

I think the 500hr inspection for mags is important. I had some mags on  

my RV6A that were working well but were at the 500hrs so I had them  

inspected.   One mag had a bearing spinning in the case and was about  

to come apart, which would have thrown balls and other parts into the  

gears and throughout the engine. I was glad to catch that before  

anything happened!
