SNIP P.S. In case there are newbies out there... the Rose mag pickup
sucks. SNIP
Oops, not very clear. My bad. I'm referring to the timing housing that
replaces one of the magnetos. It stinks when used on a Lyc. 540.
I've heard others say that the Rose front mounted timing pickup works
fine.
Apologies,
Vince

Vince, just a short note to let you know Jeff Rose isn't the ElectroAir guy
anymore. Two guys from Michigan bought the company and Jeff was retained as
a consultant for awhile.
About the pickups.... The crank triggered pickup works the best but is the
more difficult one to install. This pickup requires the removal of the prop
to install or to service. Of course, if you haven't mounted the prop yet,
it's no big deal. Typically, they never need service but as soon as you say
that, something always goes haywire somewhere. Anyway, on the 540 or any of
the six cylinder engines, the pickup that fits into the existing mag hole,
there is a set of gears in the box and sometimes they cause all sorts of
grief. Sometimes they don't but they are more prone to need service than the
fixed pickup on the front. The same unit used on the four cylinder engines
has no gears and works great. Direct drive just like the mags..
FWIW, I've used ElectroAir on Three different airplanes so far and I have
only used the crank triggered pickup. They work great....

About a month ago I was visiting with a Rocket pilot from McComb,
Mississippi. Does anyone know who this guy is or any information about him?
I am
realizing that he, and his Rocket were likely at great risk. If I/we could help
him with a temporary storage/hangar for his airplane, or even give he and his
family a place to dwell for awhile it would be nice. Please help me find
him so that I can offer my hangar or my house to him for assistance in the
current situation. Les Featherston "Airgasm" 217 hours at Rebel's Bluff
