Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 6:11 am Post subject: Dual mags now...one Plasma II plus later

My plan is to fly off several hours in the RV-7 using two Slick mags

before transitioning over to a one mag and Plasma II plus system.  With

this in mind, what is the best way to spec-out and set-up the ignition

switches?  I am referencing Z-13/8 AEC as the basis for my design.  The

Z-13 diagram shows an s700-1-3 and a s700-2-10.  Perhaps a s700-2-50

would make more sense.



Thanks,



Wade Roe

    A pair of S700-1-3 switches will do fine for both the pair

    of mags and for the final configuration.

Yup, but you'll need to turn one of the switches over when you want to 

use it to switch the ei. The mag switch closes to turn the mag off, but 

the ei switch will close to turn on. You want the "up" position to be on.

    No, the 1-3 switches are single pole, two position switches.

    They function for either breaking power to an electronic

    ignition -OR- grounding a magneto by simply moving a wire

    to the opposite terminal.
