Letâ€™s see, some of the usual suspects include:



Light Speed Engineeringâ€™s Plasma III: http://www.lightspeedengineering.com/



Unison LASAR: http://www.unisonindustries.com/ourproducts/lasarelectronicignition.html



EFii: http://www.flyefii.com/



G3i:  http://www.g3ignition.com/



EMAG (suppose to be real close to releasing a P-Mag for the 6-cyl Lycs):   www.emagair.com

The Lightspeed Plasma that Van's sells seems to be the most common. Emag 

has been promising a 6 cyl version for a long time. G3 modification to 

standard mags seems to be the other most viable alternative. Probably 

one or two others, but not that many options.

I keep waiting for the 6 cylinder P-Mag.

At this rate I will be able to mount one in my RV-18.

I got a note from eMag that they will have the 6 cylinder pMag at Sun&Fun.  I put an order in for two.



As a former dual Lightspeed owner, I'll never again put those on any engine.  I now have 300 trouble free hours on my 8A dual pMag set up.

It's interesting that you ordered 2 of something that isn't

even available yet, especially given your Lightspeed experience.

I would never order 2 of anything, given that Lightspeed works

great with only 1.  But, I had thought I'd get eMags/pMags

way back in 2004-2005, and they were promising them shortly

back then.  It could be a good thing that they waited

this long, but then again, what kinds of problems were

there that caused this long of a delay?  They certainly

have had the pent up demand for many years...so it isn't

lack of interest.  I was really interested in them,

but they too have had issues.

Seems odd that they would be holding out for certification before releasing the experimental version.  They could be gathering data from units in the field to support their certification process.  Although Iâ€™ve also been hearing about how they were working towards certification for as long as Iâ€™ve been hearing about the 6cyl version.  They are certainly not without their problems if you do a little due diligence, Marc Zeitlin has wrote up his experiences in the past.  Not that any of them are perfect.

I was on the phone with E-Mag this morning and to their credit each time I have asked them when the 6 cylinder version would be released they never promised a date so as to not disappoint. That being said the 6 cylinder version at SNF 2011 will be a sample to hold, feel, review but not be available for sale. The reason they are taking so long as they are shooting for certification on the 6 cylinder version which gives me a much warmer fuzzy feeling. He did say they would most likely be releasing the experimental version prior to certification but I suspect the differences if any will be minor.

I have a 4 cylinder version on my 200 Hp IO-360 that had been pickled for 10 years before first start. Started on the second blade.

I have been on the 6 cylinder â€œlistâ€ for well over 2 years.

Well here goes my 2 cents worth.

 

I am a mechanic on a Sport Biplane that we race in Reno each year,Â  we are running dual p-mags, and have not had any issues with them at all.Â  And when they needed a circuit board fix they took care of it right away.

 

Cars have been running electronic ignitions for over 30 years now and the technology is not that new.Â  I suspect that by the time E-mag comes out with there 6 cylinder model they should have it relatively working smooth.

 

I talked to e-mag at Oshkosh this past summer, and got to see their version Â of the Bendix Dual mage replacement p-mag.Â  They are building 2 mags in 1 housing for the single mag 4 cyl motor that came with the Bendix dual mag.Â  I do believe that is what there trying to get certified.Â  

 

I was told that the housing for the six cyl mag will be almost identical as the Â Bendix dual mag replacement p-mag.Â  So that puts some light into the process.

 

So I a thinking about either dual p-mags for the io-540 or Slick mags with the G-3 Electronic ignition system.

I should have been clearer. I believe what they have in mind is for them to get to a point where they feel confident that the certified version is or will be certified and then release the experimental version based on the certified specs but maybe without the final certified stamp of approval. Again I THINK they feel they can eliminate most of the issues this way vs. selling R&D experimental units and having the same problem most EIâ€™s have at introduction which is Plug & Pray, the source of most consumer complaints and the occasional off field landing. 

As far as issues with the 4 cylinder version that was definitely true early on. I am not sure how many 4 cylinder versions have issues out of the box today but I have not read or heard of much grumbling for many years.  

I chose to get 1 P-Mag & 1 Mag for my 8A and will do the same for my -10 once the 6 cylinder version is available. I know I can limp home on 1 mag.

I believe the release of the 6 cylinder Pmag was announced a couple  

of months ago. I know I saw an article or news release about it. It  

had pricing info, but I don't recall what it was.

The Pmag would be my choice. I am in no hurry since my Lightspeed/mag

some point.

I recently did my first engine run (Stock IO-540 from Van's) with G3 installed.  Fired on the second blade and ran very smooth.  I have only run the engine twice for about 5 minutes each time to do basic leak and sensor checks.  I did not notice any appreciable change in RPM with G3 switched on or off while running.  Just ran smooth in either case.  I will know more after I get it in the air, hopefully later this month or in March.

It's interesting that you ordered 2 of something that isn't

even available yet, especially given your Lightspeed experience.

I would never order 2 of anything, given that Lightspeed works

great with only 1. But, I had thought I'd get eMags/pMags

way back in 2004-2005, and they were promising them shortly

back then. It could be a good thing that they waited

this long, but then again, what kinds of problems were

there that caused this long of a delay? They certainly

have had the pent up demand for many years...so it isn't

lack of interest. I was really interested in them,

but they too have had issues.

 As a former dual Lightspeed owner, I'll never again put those on any

 engine. I now have 300 trouble free hours on my 8A dual pMag set up.

 I keep waiting for the 6 cylinder P-Mag.

 At this rate I will be able to mount one in my RV-18.

I have 1 Electroair and 1 mag and I am very happy with the setup. I  

can run LOP smoothly and it starts good. The Electroair is the old  

Jeff Rose setup they compare in the EAA CAFE report. I used the  

Electroair because Lightspeed did not have a mounting bracket for the  

crank pickup to fit my engine. The guys at Electroair are good to  

work with and they are going for a certified model also. Blue Skys Barry

E-mag had the 6 cyl version last year and said the same thing. I like the new package- it's different from the others. Round, tube-shaped with the wires coming out of the end in a circular fashion. The wires are locked in more securely than in the past. I sent out a picture of it last year. I'll send it again if I can find it. I'd like to install the 6 cyl pmag in my RV-10 also...

[quote] I was on the phone with E-Mag this morning and to their credit each time I have asked them when the 6 cylinder version would be released they never promised a date so as to not disappoint. That being said the 6 cylinder version at SNF 2011 will be a sample to hold, feel, review but not be available for sale. The reason they are taking so long as they are shooting for certification on the 6 cylinder version which gives me a much warmer fuzzy feeling. He did say they would most likely be releasing the experimental version prior to certification but I suspect the differences if any will be minor.

 

 I have a 4 cylinder version on my 200 Hp IO-360 that had been pickled for 10 years before first start. Started on the second blade.

 

 I have been on the 6 cylinder â€œlistâ€ for well over 2 years
