    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.

What does the system do in the case of a mag failure? I plan to order a stock IO-540 from Van's Aircraft in a few weeks. Can I send you the mags for conversion? Is the spark voltage energy increased over standard mag voltage? So far your system sounds very good however I have not been able to get much feedback in the field about it.

There are many benefits to electronic ignitions systems out there, however our product has the best fall back on redundancy available. You don't have to run half a ignition system to still have mag redundancy. Its doesn't require back-up batteries to still operate if you lose the aircraft electrical system, and/or if a sensor or some other electronic ignition component fails, the G3i system reverts back to the original magnetos to still continue ignition firing. The G3i system fires both ignition systems together in perfect sync. which produces engine smoothness and performance/economy gains. Fuel economy gains are realistically are from 8% to 14%. On static dynamotor test pulls, 2% - 5% has been record in pounds of thrust @ 100% power. On starting the G3i provides multiple spark to both L&R ignitions instantly in sync. making starting much easier. Does not need 3 crankshaft revolutions to see a signal on when to fire. Installation is straight forward and easily done. Please ck out our website on the install manual or give us a call about our product. We will be in KOSH Airventure booth 1148 this year also.

    Subject: Re: RC Allen RCA2600 ADI
    From: "marklevy" <markwlevy@gmail.com>
    Thanks for the feedback guys. I posted on the RV forum, as it has a huge database of experience. The ADI is, however for my YAK50, and I don't want an EFIS as it would not be in keeping with the rest of the panel. I know that the electro mechanical RC Allen horizons don't fare well in high vibration installations (the YAK's usual environment) but this is a solid state unit. I was also looking at the TruTrak ADI, but was put off by its use of processed Vertical speed data to provide pitch info, and its inability to show roll beyond 30 degrees. Has anyone had experience with this bit of kit? How does it handle continuous acro? Mike; any feedback from the avionics shop on the quality of the RCA2600? Appreciate the help.
