Hi there,
Is there any reference material on this board on how the different ignition systems function? I am just finishing Bob Nuckoll’s book and am starting to get a wiring plan together for my Aerovee powered Sonex. I realize I don’t know what kind of ignition system the Aerovee engine has, and that I would like to learn more about the differences in all the mag systems used in aircraft.
Thanks for any help,
Greg Issitt

A short visit to the AeroVee web information
doesn't give us much detail however, it's
almost a certainty that this aero conversion
of the popular VW engine comes with a well
defined ignition system.
On the last page of their sample installation
manual at:
http://www.sonexaircraft.com/support/AeroVee_sample.pdf
we see wiring diagrams for dual ignition. One is
a "magneto" type powered from the flywheel. The
other is a "battery" type powered from the ship's
electrical system. What you see is what you get.
You wont have any bolt on options common to
other aircraft engines.

Greg,
Not sure if you got to Sun N’ Fun last week but E-Mag had a nice table with lots of examples and information. I have found that if you go digging on each of the respective vendor sites, you will find lots of detail on each, albeit by individual authors. That is probably your best bet.
Aerovee will tell you what they prefer (you can be sure they have an opinion). Yes, the learning process is good practice and lots of fun.

Lightspeed's website has a section that deals in depth on the advanteges of electronic ingnition and the pros & cons of the different systems types as well as a good deal of info on flame speeds etc with the various mixture ratios . Good reading material.

Tim,
Agreed, While I was at Sun N’ Fun I came across a particularly nice installation of a Plasma II system on a Glasair IIS. I was attracted to this as they did a great job on their plenum and smartly mounted the 4  coil packs on the left side of the firewall in very close proximity to the control boxes (mounted on firewall).
I took a few pics you can see here…
