Also, both mags are energize while starting. Yes, a single system runs both (L&R) magnetos.

Does a single system cover both mags? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:12:06 AM PST US From: "Generation 3 Ignition" Subject: RV-List: Rocket-List: Generation 3 Ignition 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.

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. In a message dated 3/28/2009 6:06:56 A.M.

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.
