Hey Kelly, while I'm just waiting for the wing kit to arrive, I've been watching/reading about the electronic ignition issues etc. Can you expand on the difference in costs and the effort required with regards to the 2 separate systems?

~$1500 plus the additional wiring, your time, minus the value of the
removed mag. For the LS Plasma III. You could also look at the
G3 electronic modification to magnetos. www.g3ignition.com
Personally, I don't believe 95% of their claims as they seem to have
poor understanding of the flame propagation event.
I probably will go with either 2 Bendix S-1200s, or LS Plasma and an S-1200.
Both more expensive than Slicks, but Slicks don't have a great service
history on Lycoming IO-540s. They have better record on TCM engines for
some reason.
