Hello Dave,
Yes, with the G3i system, the Multiple Spark Discharge is energized
while starting, thus taking place of the Slick Start/ Bendix Shower of
Sparks. Also, both mags are energize while starting.
Yes, a single system runs both (L&R) magnetos.
Sincerely,

Does your system eliminate the Slickstart requirement? Does a single
system cover both mags?

Hello John,
The total mag height should not be increased, the coil stud terminal is
.500". Usally the height of the ignition harness or p-leads looming
around is the problem.
Are your Bendix 20-series or 1200 's mags, if there 20-series do they
have the flat top steel cover? I've attached a pic of Larry Vetterman's
flat top mag installed with the coil terminal stud. If you go to the
www.g3ignition.com a look @ the G3i pdf install manual, there are more
examples and mods.
The G3i system will eliminate the shower of sparks. It will receive the
retard contacts signal while cranking and will retard/energize both mags
@ start-up. (Drawing # 2 in manual)

Dear Thomas,
I have been following the string of communication on Rocket List...
I'm interested in adding your system.
My Rocket is equipped with non-impulse type mags and Bendix "Shower of
Sparks" ignition. Also, does your mod increase mag depth in any way ?
I have minimum space between mag (head and wiring) and the firewall.
Thanks for any info you might give.

Hello Dave,
All mags should be inspected @ the recommended time interval.
Example, I have inspected Slick mags with 400hrs on them and they were
excellent for the G3i system modification. Depending on what fails in
the mag, in some scenarios, the electronic will back -up the mag and
continue to fire just fine. During run-up, a system off, normal (L-R)
mag drop is recommended to revel any potential ignition problems. We do
the mag modification here and inspections/ repairs. Since the spark plug
gap is slightly larger than the stock (.018") recommendation. New total
air gap being increased to .020" - .026" the secondary voltage range to
ionize the spark adds roughly .2 - .5kv to the overall window. It is the
synchronized multiple discharge that make the G3i systems performs so
well. Here is a link to Larry Vettermans/ Vettermans Exhaust website
scroll down to Hartzell Blended Airfoil vs Whirlwind 200RV Series props
on my RV-7A.Larry Vetterman for info. on his test findings or
give him a call.
Sincerely,
Thomas Shpakow
