Paul,

  Metal aircraft tend to shield the sensors from ignition noise, where
fiberglass aircraft do not. But even metal aircraft sometimes won't shield
the intensity of noise from electronic ignitions....

      Hi all,
      
      I recently made an enquiry to a large avionics supplier in Florida as
to the pro's
      and cons of these two products.  When I told them that I wanted to fit
it
      to a composite aircraft they immediately told me that getting a
Stormscope to
      work in an fiberglass aircraft was very difficult and they would
recommended that
      I purchase a Strikefinder instead.
      
      Does anyone have any idea on why this might be so ?
      
      Thanks,
      
      Paul
